NACC’s Edwards named ACCC Pitcher of the Week for fourth time

Addie Edwards is now a four-time Alabama Community College Conference pitcher of the week.

After receiving the award in each of the first three weeks of the season, the freshman right-hander from Chatsworth, Georgia has now taken the honor four of five weeks after another dominant week in the circle.

The ACCC announced its Conference Players of the Week on Tuesday.
