SAN FRANCISCO – Oregon State left-handed pitcher Cooper Hjerpe has been named the Pac-12's Pitcher of the Week for the second time this season, the conference announced on Monday.
Hjerpe tied a 28-year old Oregon State single-game record with 17 strikeouts versus Stanford on Friday night, equaling Mason Smith's 1994 mark against Portland.
The 17 strikeouts are the most by an NCAA Division I pitcher this season.
The Capay, Calif., native worked a career-long eight innings, and held the Cardinal to two hits and a run. Stanford failed to put a runner into scoring position against the lefty.
