Karnos among best pitchers in Western Athletic Conference
Max Karnos
Then he went to Western Nevada College and became inarguably the most durable pitcher over his two years there.
Now he’s at Sacramento State in California, and it’s the same as it ever was.
Karnos, of South High fame, is the ace of the staff and ranks among the Western Athletic Conference leaders in the three most critical categories for a pitcher.
The 6-foot-4 starter has the second-best ERA [2.77] in the WAC while his 84.1 innings and seven wins both rank fourth.
In three years of college ball he has thrown 250.2 career innings and ranked first or second on his team each season.
Karnos improved his record to 7-3 after Sac State beat Seattle University 6-3.
He allowed two runs over six innings, overcoming six base on balls and escaping a two-on, one-out jam in the fourth inning with a strikeout and groundout. He threw clean frames in the fifth and sixth innings.
Karnos is 5-1 in his last six decisions.
His next start will come in next weekend’s WAC Tournament in Mesa, Arizona.
