SAN FRANCISCO - Washington State junior Ian Hamilton was named the Pac-12 Conference Pitcher of the Week, conference commissioner Larry Scott announced Monday.
Hamilton was impressive in six-plus innings to lead the Cougars to a 7-2 series-clinching victory at No. 14 Washington Saturday, giving Washington State its first road series win of the season and its first series win in Seattle since 2004. The Vancouver, Wash. native struck out four and allowed just two earned runs on five hits to earn the win. Hamilton allowed one run in the first inning and cruised throughout the day, using double plays in the third and fifth innings to hold off any UW scoring threats.
