Yost Named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week

IRVING, Texas?Husker freshman Sean Yost was tabbed the Phillips 66 Big 12 Pitcher of the Week late Monday in voting by a panel of media covering the conference.

Yost earned the honor after tossing a six-hit shutout of Baylor on Saturday for his first Big 12 victory. He did not allow more than one base runner after the first inning while establishing a career high with six strikeouts.  Yost’s victory also accounted for Nebraska’s first shutout of the season and first complete-game shutout since March of 2008. His performance marked the first nine-inning shutout tossed by a Husker pitcher since the 2000 campaign.
