A red hot baseball pitcher is this week’s “Loaf ‘N Jug High School Athlete of the Week.”  Congratulations to Pueblo South lefty Jeremy Ortiz.

The Colts southpaw tossed a no-hitter Monday as South wrapped up the regular season with a 10-0 win over CanonCity.  A week ago at Coors Field in Denver Jeremy pitched a three hitter as South beat PuebloCounty snapping the Hornets 10-game winning streak.

The high school sports season is winding down but you still have time to nominate your athlete of the week.  Then watch News First at 6pm and 10pm every Tuesday night for the announcement of the "Loaf ‘N Jug High School Athlete of the Week."
