Wayne State freshman pitcher Ryan Obrecht was named as the Northern Sun Conference Baseball Pitcher of the Week following his performance last week.
Obrecht took a no-hitter into the seventh inning last Wednesday in his start against Concordia-St. Paul and finished with a one-hit shutout and 10 strikeouts to blank the Golden Bears 11-0.
For the season, Obrecht is 7-0 with a 1.09 ERA and leads the NSIC in earned run average while ranking second in NCAA DIv. II. He has allowed just six earned runs in 49.2 innings of work this season and has been charged with just 30 hits while striking out 43 batters and walking 11.
Obrecht has pitched at least five innings in all seven starts this season (10 total appearances) and has a scoreless streak of 20 innings after not allowing a run in his last three starts against Minot State, Winona State and Concordia-St. Paul, all wins.
It’s the first time the freshman from Millard North High School has received the honor.
