April 16, 2008 | Cowboy Baseball
IRVING, Texas — Oklahoma State sophomore Andrew Oliver has been named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Week for games played April 7-13, it was announced by the league office today.
Oliver tossed the first complete game of his career to lead OSU to a 1-0 win in its series opener against No. 6 Nebraska last Friday. The southpaw from Vermilion, Ohio, allowed just three hits, all singles, and tied a career high with 10 strikeouts. He did not allow a walk in the contest.
Oliver was perfect through the first five innings, retiring the first 15 Cornhuskers in order before giving up a leadoff single in the sixth. He faced just two batters over the minimum in the game.
The complete game effort bested Oliver's previous career-long outing of seven innings, which he had reached three times this season.
With the win, Oliver improved to 3-2 on the season and lowered his ERA to 2.50. He leads the Cowboys with 54 strikeouts in 54 innings of work.
Oliver is the first Cowboy to earn conference pitcher of the week honors this season. It is also the first time in Oliver's career he has been honored with the award.
