FIU junior right-hander Andres Nunez was named Conference USA Pitcher of the Week along with Southern Miss right-hander Nick Sandlin for their outstanding performances on the mound last weekend.
Nunez pitched seven innings, allowed no earned runs, no walks and struck out a season-high nine batters in the 2-1 win over UTSA last Friday night in San Antonio.
In his last four starts, Nunez has been terrific. During that span Nunez has pitched 25 innings, allowed three earned runs and struck out 26. He is 3-0 in those four starts and FIU has won all four games.
