LUBBOCK, Texas. - Senior left-handed pitcher Colt Hynes was named the
Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Week today in reward for a stellar
performance against the 23rd-ranked TCU Horned Frogs on Sunday
afternoon.
Hynes, a senior from Weatherford, Texas, fired the second complete game
of his career on Sunday afternoon to help lead the Red Raiders to a 4-1
win over No. 23 TCU in the final day of the Whataburger College Classic
at Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi. Over nine innings of work, he
did not issue a single walk and allowed just one run on six hits. His
11 strikeouts in the game surpassed his previous career-high of six that
he set last season against Missouri.
The Big 12 award is the first of his career and the second this season
by a Red Raider as Doug Thennis won the player of the week award back on
Feb. 19.
