PITCHER OF THE WEEK
Jr., RHP, Shoreview, Minn./Mounds View
Rosin claims his first career Pitcher of the Week award after leading Minnesota to a 3-2 win over Louisiana Tech on Friday. The junior struck out eight batters in eight innings of work, allowing just five hits without issuing a walk. The right-hander has not given up a free pass in five of his six outings this season, and he leads the Big Ten with just two walks allowed all year. Friday’s performance marked Rosin’s third of the season in which he fanned eight or more batters, and he ranks among the Big Ten’s best in strikeouts (33) and opponents’ batting average (.234).
