EAST LANSING, Mich. – Senior Liv Grey was named B1G Pitcher of the Week as announced by the Big Ten Conference office on Monday afternoon. Grey becomes the eighth pitcher in program history to earn a B1G weekly honor.
It's Michigan State's third B1G weekly honor of the season, marking the most conference weekly honors received by the program since 2008 (Gina Mondo – 3/3/08, 3/10/08; Kara Weigle – 3/24/08). The Spartans have now earned all three of the different weekly awards (Player, Pitcher and Freshman of the Week) this season, which is a first in program history.
Grey was nearly perfect in the circle for the Spartans last week going 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA and a .90 WHIP, while holding opponents to a .094 batting average against. In 16.2 innings pitched, Grey struck out 28 batters and twice reached the double-digit threshold striking out 11 against both Iona and Yale at the Chanticleer Showdown. Grey took a no-hit bid into the fifth inning against Yale before a bunt single broke it up.
The conference named Penn State's Kaitlyn Morrison as Player of the Week and Purdue's Ashlynn Campbell earned Freshman of the Week.
