IRVING, Texas—After earning both his second save and his fourth win of the season last week, junior right-hander Nolan Kingham was named Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Week, the league announced today.
Kingham contributed in a major way on two occasions last week. With Texas leading No. 25 Sam Houston State by one on Tuesday night, Kingham entered in relief and threw a perfect ninth inning to shut the door and notch his second save of the season.
The junior returned on Saturday afternoon with the start against Oklahoma State. He proceeded to sit down the first nine in order, retiring 12 straight overall dating back to Tuesday.
