INDIANAPOLIS – On Tuesday the Horizon League announced its weekly award winners for the eighth week of the 2025 baseball season with Milwaukee's Aric Ehmke selected as the league's Pitcher of the Week.
 
Ehmke put together a brilliant performance on Friday for Milwaukee, helping the Panthers to a doubleheader sweep over the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons. The junior tossed a season-high 7 1/3 innings and allowed just one hit as he held PFW to just a .043 average on the game.
 
The right-hander did not allow a run over his outing and struck out a season-best seven batters, including five swinging and two looking.
 
On the year, Ehmke now has 15 strikeouts over 28 2/3 innings during his first season with the Panthers. Over his last two outings, he has 10 strikeouts over 11 innings, while allowing just four walks.
 
Milwaukee will prepare for Horizon League play this weekend as the Panthers will host the Oakland Golden Grizzlies starting on Friday at 5:00 p.m. at Franklin Field.
