Nebraska pitcher named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week

Nebraska pitcher Brett Sears was named the Big Ten’s Pitcher of the Week on Monday afternoon. Sears threw a two-hit complete-game shutout in the Cornhuskers 3-0 win against Ohio State last Friday.

The two hits are the fewest allowed in a complete game by an NU pitcher since Matt Waldron against Michigan State in 2019. Sears had a career-high ten strikeouts with zero walks in the performance.

The Iowa native is 6-0 on the season with a 1.14 ERA in 55 innings pitched. Nebraska is currently ranked No. 21 by the USA TODAY Coaches Poll.
