IRVING — Two days after leading UTSA to a 6-1 victory against Rice, Aaron Burns was named Conference USA Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.
Burns logged his first complete game of the season and matched a season best with six strikeouts. The right-hander scattered four hits and the only run he allowed was unearned. The Jarrell native retired eight of the final nine batters he faced, only giving up a walk in the ninth.
Burns, now 2-2 on the season, improved his ERA to 3.98 and he leads the circuit with six starts.
