Freshman pitcher Kurt Heyer struck out 14 in his 8 2/3 innings outing on Friday and was announced as the Pacific 10 Conference Pitcher of the Week on Monday. Collegiate Baseball also named Heyer as one of two Louisville Slugger national players of the week.
This is the second time this season Heyer has earned both awards.
Heyer’s performance improved his record to 6-0 on the season and put him in the top 5 in ERA, strikeouts, wins and innings pitched for individual ranking in the Pac-10. It also set up Arizona to take a three game sweep from the Washington State Cougars. The sweep was the first for the Wildcats against at Pac-10 opponent this season.
