ST. LOUIS -- Indiana State's Collin Liberatore has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced Monday afternoon. It marks the third weekly award for the Sycamores this season and the first for Liberatore.
Liberatore set a new career high with 10 strikeouts as he helped clinch the series against Southern Illinois with a 7-2 victory Saturday. Liberatore held the Salukis to just two hits and one run over eight innings on the mound. The right-hander retired seven-straight batters to close out his day while retiring the Salukis in order in four different innings.
