Jace Fry Picks Up National Honor
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State junior Jace Fry was named the national Pitcher of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), it was announced on Tuesday.
The national honor is the first of the season for Fry, a day after he was named the Pac-12 Conference’s Pitcher of the Week for the third time in 2014.
Fry was dominating in the Beavers’ 5-0 win Sunday, holding California to just one hit – a third-inning single by Vince Bruno – in striking out six for his third complete-game shutout of the season, and fourth of his career. He needed just 98 pitches for the complete-game effort, which was finished in a swift hour and 55 minutes.
The Beaverton native has been sharp this season, to say the least. He has a 9-1 record with a 1.59 earned run average in 12 starts. In conference games, he’s been even more dominating, posting a 6-1 mark with a 0.98 ERA. Pac-12 foes are batting just .146 against him.
Oregon State visits Oregon Tuesday night for a non-conference game at PK Park in Eugene that begins at 6:05 p.m. PT. The game can be seen live on the Pac-12 Networks.
Fans can tune into the game over the Beaver Sports Network, with the pre-game show beginning at 5:30 p.m. Live audio and stats can be found by visiting osubeavers.com.
