Wieland is the Carolina League May Pitcher of the Week for May 2-8.

Wieland rides to the Pelicans' second Pitcher of the Week award of 2011, following teammate Robbie Erlin's nod last week, on the strength of a jaw-dropping performance at Potomac on May 4. Over the course of six shutout innings, Wieland allowed two infield hits and no runs while not walking a man and striking out 13 Nationals batters. His 13 Ks came one shy of tying the franchise record, set by Kyle Davies at Kinston on June 12, 2004 and matched last May 31 at Frederick by phenom Julio Teheran, and equaled the Pelicans' only other 13-strikeout performance, that of Tommy Hanson on April 4, 2008 at Wilmington. Impressively enough, Joe's performance against Potomac wasn't even a career best. The righty struck out 14 last August third against Visalia while a member of the Bakersfield Blaze, last year's Class A Advanced affiliate of the Rangers.
