CHILLICOTHE, Ohio - Chillicothe pitcher Gunnar Boehm has been named Prospect League Pitcher of the Week after throwing a seven-inning no-hitter at West Virginia July 15.

On the season, Boehm is 2-3 with a 3.19 ERA over 41 innings across seven starts. The Ellwood City, Pa. native has surrendered 15 earned runs on 30 hits, walking 16 and striking out 35. Boehm has allowed just one home run and owns a strikeout per nine ratio of 7.68.

Boehm joins Nick Lallathin and Justin Diefenbach as the third Chillicothe pitcher to earn the weekly honor.
