Matlock also was the MIAA and South Central Region Pitcher of the Year, and earned first-team honors in the league and region. He had the nation’s best strikeout-to-walk ratio of 79-to-4 (one of which was an intentional walk), and ranked third in the nation with 14 saves.
He ended the year with a 6-2 record and a 1.19 ERA in 53 innings, and helped the Mules to a #10 national ranking in the final D-II poll with a 44-15 overall record.The All-American recognition by ABCA continues a string of post-season honors for Matlock and Tuttle, both named to the Daktronics D-II "All-American Team".
