PITCHER OF THE WEEK
Wade Mackey, Baylor, RHP, Fr., Van, Texas/ Van
Mackey tossed Baylor’s first complete-game shutout in more than one calendar year with a 3-0 win at No. 23 TCU. His shutout was Baylor’s first complete-game against a ranked opponent since Mark McCormick accomplished the feat March 20, 2004, against then-No. 9 Texas A&M. Prior to this outing, his previous career long was five innings on three occasions. The Van, Texas native retired 13 consecutive batters between the third and seventh innings and 20 of the final 21 batters faced.
