4/24/2023 2:06:00 PM | Softball

The honor marks her second of the season and third of her career

MINNEAPOLIS – After pitching two shutouts over the Iowa Hawkeyes, fifth year senior Autumn Pease has been named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday.

Pease made two starts and three appearances against Iowa, not allowing a single run through 16 innings of work. The Murrieta, Calif., native picked up all three wins, tossing 24 strikeouts and allowing three walks from opposing batters.

Pease now ranks first in the Big Ten in strikeouts (206), second in victories (20), and third in both ERA (1.55) and opposing batting average (.196).

This marks her third weekly honor from the league and second this season, with her first of 2023 coming on March 13 following Minnesota's undefeated weekend at the Gopher Indoor Classic.

Pease and the Golden Gophers travel to Madison, Wisc., for a midweek double header on Tuesday and continue on the road to Ohio State April 28-30 to face the Buckeyes.
