It marks her second career weekly honor from the league and the first this season
MINNEAPOLIS – Fifth year senior Autumn Pease was awarded Big Ten Pitcher of the Week for her performance at the Gopher Indoor Classic, the conference office announced on Monday.
Pease, who earns her second career weekly honor, tossed three dominant wins this past weekend. The Murrieta, Calif., native pitched 15 innings through three games while not allowing a single earned run against her. The kinesiology major totaled 27 strikeouts and one walk with five hits against her from opposing batters. Pease's performance contributed to Minnesota's 5-0 undefeated weekend at the Gopher Indoor Classic.
This marks the third time Minnesota has clinched Big Ten weekly honors this year. Earlier this season, Jess Oakland won Freshman of the Week while sophomore catcher Taylor Krapf picked up Big Ten Player of the Week.
Pease and the Gophers hit the road this weekend to compete in a four-team tournament at Wichita State. Minnesota will compete against South Dakota State, Wichita State and Northern Colorado in five games.
