Right-hander tossed 6.0 shutout innings in win over Coastal Carolina
LAFAYETTE – Louisiana right-hander Cody Brasch picked up Sun Belt Conference Weekly baseball honors when he was named Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.
Â
Brasch (5-2), tossed 6.0 shutout innings for his fourth straight quality start and allowed one hit in Louisiana's 7-2 win over No. 20 Coastal Carolina on Thursday in the opening game of a three-game series.
Â
The Haslet, Texas native fanned seven batters, did not allow a runner into scoring position and combined with two relievers on a three-hitter. Brasch gave up a two-out single in the second inning and hit a batter in the third before retiring the final 11 batters he faced.
Â
The selection of Brasch marked the second UL pitcher to earn SBC weekly pitching honors after southpaw Andrew Herrmann was selected after a complete-game, one-hit shutout against UC San Diego on February 28.
Â
Louisiana (34-21) – the No. 7 seed in the Sun Belt Conference Baseball Championships that begin on Tuesday at DABOS Park in Montgomery, Ala. – will face No. 10-seeded Marshall (23-31) in a first-round elimination game at 3 p.m.
