Tucson High grad Alex Robles had a week to remember pitching and hitting for Austin Peay University. He pitched a shutout with 11 strikeouts to beat Ohio Valley Conference favorite Jacksonville State on March 11. A day later, he hit a walk-off home run to beat JSU 6-5 in the 14th inning. A senior, Robles is one of the top pitchers/hitters in college baseball.
