IRVING, Texas – For the second time in his career Southern Miss pitcher Todd McInnis was named the Conference USA Pitcher of the Week, announced by the C-USA office Monday.

The 2009 C-USA Pitcher of the Year and 2010 preseason C-USA Pitcher of the Year was dominant in his 2010 debut striking out nine Northwestern State batters in his six innings of work before he reached his pitch limit and left the game.

McInnis took a no hitter into the fifth inning, allowing only one base runner, a hit batter, before giving up a soft-groundball single through the right side with two outs in the fifth inning.
