MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – For the second time this season, senior Derek Clark of the West Virginia University baseball team has been named the Big 12 Pitcher and Newcomer of the Week.
On Saturday against Kansas State, Clark matched a season high with 10 strikeouts in seven scoreless innings of work. He allowed just two singles in the game and did not allow a hit to 19 consecutive batters during one stretch.
Clark is 6-2 on the season with 67 strikeouts and leads the Mountaineers with a 3.14 ERA, second lowest in the Big 12
It is the 20th time in program history that a Mountaineer has been named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week and 16th instance of Newcomer of the Week. Junior Kyle West was also named Newcomer of the Week earlier this year.
Clark and the rest of the Mountaineers are back in action from May 16-18 against TCU for the final series of the regular season. First pitch from Fort Worth on Thursday is set for 7 p.m. ET.
