5/1/2023 2:30:00 PM | Softball
Her fourth career weekly award and third this season
MINNEAPOLIS – After allowing one earned run through 20 innings of work, fifth year senior Autumn Pease nabbed Big Ten Pitcher of the Week accolades on Monday.
Pease made three combined starts against Wisconsin and Ohio State, pitching 19 scoreless innings and picking up three victories, continuing her streak of 10 consecutive wins. The Murrieta, Calif., native is the conference leader in both victories (23) and strikeouts (229). Nationally, she ranks fifth in both categories.
The award marks her fourth career weekly honor from the league and third this season. Pease is the first individual Minnesota pitcher to win back-to-back weekly awards since Amber Fiser in 2019 (April 15, April 22, April 29, and May 6). In 2020, Pease and Fiser won the award for the Golden Gophers in back-to-back weeks on Feb. 24 (Fiser) and March 2 (Pease).
Pease and the Golden Gophers return home this weekend to face Michigan in the regular season finale May 5-7.
