UConn Baseball’s sophomore left-hander Tim Cate had a stellar performance in Friday’s win over East Carolina. He threw seven strong innings, scattering five hits and only an unearned run while walking two batters and striking out a career-high 13.
The performance was good enough to earn American Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week honors.
Cate struggled to get going early this season, missing three starts after an injury and another after a suspension for breaking team rules.
His most recent start kicked off a great weekend for the Husky starters. Cate, Wills Montgomerie, and Mason Feole gave the Huskies 21 innings, allowing just three runs, only one of which was earned.
