On March 28, former Wetumpka High baseball standout Justin Barrett was named the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC) pitcher of the week. Barrett is a junior right-handed pitcher for the Auburn University Montgomery Senators.

The award was given on the strength of his March 24 performance against Reinhardt College. Barrett earned a save in game one of the doubleheader, then pitched a complete game for the win in the nightcap.

Barrett (3-1) threw for a full eight innings, striking out seven while allowing only four hits, one earned run and no walks.
