4/1/2019 1:43:00 PM | Baseball
SIOUX FALLS — South Dakota State University freshman Nic McCay was honored Monday as Summit League Pitcher of the Week after tossing a seven-hit shutout to finish off a weekend sweep of Purdue Fort Wayne.
A right-hander from Carlisle, Iowa, McCay struck out 11 batters and walked only one as the Jackrabbits prevailed 8-0 in a March 31 game that was played at Notre Dame's Frank Eck Stadium. In improving to 4-1 on the season, McCay retired 12 consecutive Mastodon hitters in a stretch between the third and seventh innings. All seven hits he surrendered were singles.
McCay became the first Jackrabbit to pitch a nine-inning shutout since Stephen Bougher in 2012 at SIU Edwardsville.Â
McCay is the second South Dakota State pitcher to be honored as Summit League Pitcher of the Week in 2019, joining left-hander Brady Stover, who received the award on the season's opening weekend. In addition, Jackrabbit position players Logan Holtz (March 4), Gus Steiger (March 11) and Drew Beazley (March 25) have been selected as Summit League Player of the Week this season.
The Jackrabbits, 14-10 overall and 7-2 in The Summit League, are tentatively scheduled to open the home season Wednesday against Dakota State. First pitch is set for 3 p.m. at Erv Huether Field.
