Chaminade University relief pitcher
Joseph Perez (Goodyear, Ariz./Glendale CC/Verrado HS) is the Hawai'i Pacific Health Silversword Male Athlete of the Week for competition between April 28 through May 4.
The junior closer tossed a career-high 4 2/3 innings of relief to help the baseball team down Hawai'i Pacific University, 6-5, in Thursday's resumption of Sunday's suspended game. Perez kept the potent Sharks lineup off the scoreboard and allowed just two hits against one of Division II's top hitting teams.
