He has allowed just five earned runs in 59.0 innings over his last eight starts.Freeman has already captured Big 12 Pitcher of the Week honors three times this season -- March 2, 23 and 30 -- to become one of just 15 pitchers in Big 12 history to garner the accolade three or more times in the same season and the only OSU hurler to do so. He is also only the 10th pitcher in conference history to win the award in consecutive weeks, joining Matt Smith (1998) as the only other Cowboy to do that.
