BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – After tossing seven hitless innings against Minnesota, redshirt-junior Ty Bothwell earned Big Ten Pitcher of the Week, announced the conference office on Wednesday (May 18).
After a 22 hour, 32 minute rain delay that pushed the second game of the series into Sunday, Bothwell came on in relief and produced seven innings of hitless work to help IU to its second shutout of the season. He struck out eight and walked three to earn the victory.
The left-hander threw a career-high 111 pitches over his personal-best seven innings of work.
