Oregon sophomore David Peterson picked up his first weekly honor of his collegiate career on Tuesday when Collegiate Baseball named the southpaw a Louisville Slugger Player of the Week.
The Denver native earned recognition with his Sunday afternoon outing against UCSB, highlighted by a career-high 13 strikeouts. He lasted 7.0 IP, allowing 6 hits, a walk and a single run (unearned) after the Ducks used seven pitches on Saturday.
“We were a little thin,” head coach George Horton said on Sunday. “We needed David to get deep into the game and he was real good again.”
After three starts, Peterson (2-0) owns a team-leading 0.45 ERA in 20.0 innings of work while holding opposing batters to a .176 batting average.
No. 11 Oregon (8-2) plays next on Thursday against Alabama before a three-game series versus Mississippi State beginning Friday at 4:35 p.m. PST in Starkville, Mississippi.
