Senior Shay Schanaman has been named the Big Ten Baseball’s Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday morning.
Schanaman earned his first win of the season in Nebraska’s 6-0 victory against Northwestern State on Saturday.
The Grand Island, Neb., native tossed a complete-game three-hit shutout and posted a season-high eight strikeouts with one walk. Schanaman allowed only two NSU baserunners to reach second base and faced 31 batters.
Schanaman’s performance was the first nine-inning complete-game shutout by a Nebraska pitcher since Jake Meyers vs. Western Carolina on March 12, 2017.
