The La Joya High alum starred in his two appearances on the mound this week, both out of the bullpen. His first came in UTRGV's win over No. 6 Oregon State.
 
In that outing, Gutierrez pitched 2.1 inning and allowed only one earned run. UTRGV went on to defeat the Beavers, 9-7. The win was UTRGV's highest ranked win since 1983, when the Vaqueros took three of four from No. 1 Wichita State.
 
Guiterrez shined on Sunday as well, pitching a career-high 5.1 hitless and scoreless innings against UIW. His efforts earned him his first-career win while he struck out a career-high tying four strikeouts. Gutierrez only allowed one walk in the appearance.

UTRGV defeated UIW 5-0 to secure the series sweep and ride a four-game win streak into their midweek matchup against Abilene Christian Tuesday at 6 p.m.
