The 22-year old struck out seven in six innings while giving up five hits, a walk and three earned runs on Saturday as Columbus overpowered Asheville, 16-7. Earlier in the week, the native of Florence, S.C., propelled the Catfish to a 5-2 victory over Hickory. Rollins gave up two unearned runs and three walks while striking out six in five innings of work. He is 15-4 with a 2.57 ERA and 140 strikeouts this season.
Just last week, teammate Ryan Royster was the SAL Player of the week. Matt Fields was named Player of the Week on June 24, while Wade Townsend took Pitcher of the Week honors on April 22.
The Catfish have an off day today, and head to Charleston tomorrow to open a 3-game series against the Charleston RiverDogs (Yankees). The Catfish are in first place in the SAL Southern Division, leading Asheville by 2-1/2 games, and Charleston by 3 games.
Rollins may make it. About the right age for the Sally. Nice numbers.
