ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Illinois State baseball senior Tanner Perry has been tabbed Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week, the conference announced Monday.
The O'Fallon, Missouri, native, recorded his seventh outing this season with 6+ strikeouts to lead Illinois State to a series-clinching 1-0 win over UIC on May 11.
Perry, who only allowed two hits and two walks over nine scoreless innings, recorded the first nine-inning complete game shutout for Illinois State since March 2024 (Tyrelle Chadwick).
His seven-strikeout shutout performance is also the first nine-inning complete game for the Redbirds since Perry did so earlier this year against Western Illinois on March 15.
