UNA senior Chad Boughner became the winningest pitcher in UNA baseball history during the Jan. 23-24 game series against KSU.

Boughner’s career record moved to 26-11 during the opening game of the weekend series after he pitched eight shutout innings against the Thorobreds and surpassed former record holder Ken Head, who won 25 games for UNA from 1989-1992. His career innings pitched sits at 262.2 and he has pitched 244 strikeouts while at UNA.

Boughner has spent his entire college career with the Lions, redshirting as a freshman and quickly working his way into the weekend rotation, where he has stayed for the duration of his time here, said Mike Keehn, head coach.

“He’s worked hard, and his ability to throw strikes and maximize his potential has helped him get here,” Keehn said.

Keehn said Boughner’s time here has been well spent.

“He has had a great career here,” Keehn said. “Hopefully he’ll continue to win a lot of games for us this year.”
