When the regular season concludes and conference tournament time rolls around, teams call on their best players to lead the way. 

Right-handed pitcher Kyle Froehlich (Nipawin, Sask.) did just that for the University of Texas at Tyler Patriots. 

Going up against the No. 1 seed Angelo State Rams in the Lone Star Conference Tournament, Froehlich worked seven innings and allowed two runs on seven hits. He struck out five. 

Despite the strong effort, the Patriots fell 3-2 and were eliminated. 

The start came just five days after he threw six scoreless innings in a Game 2 win over Texas A&M Kingsville last Sunday to improve his record to 9-0. 

So far this season, Froehlich has a team-leading 2.08 ERA. 

And he should get at least one more start this season as the Patriots (43-11) were named the No. 2 seed in the South Central Regional that begins on Thursday. 

Kyle Froehlich is the Canadian Baseball Network College Player of the Week for May 5 to 11.
