NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Ohio Valley Conference saw some
sensational pitching performances last week, and one of those came
from Tennessee Tech's Adam Liberatore, who was named as one of
three players to share the league's Pitcher of the Week award.
Liberatore shared the honor with Murray State's Daniel Calhoun and
Austin Peay's Ryne Harper.
The junior from Rochester, Pa., worked seven scoreless innings
Friday as Tech posted a 1-0 win over Marshall at The Citadel
Memorial Tournament in Charleston, S.C. Liberatore didn't allow a
run and only two hits through seven innings, striking out eight
batters and walking just four.
Last week, Liberatore shut out St. Peters College for seven innings
in getting his first win of the season.
In his two starts, Liberatore (2-0) has not allowed a run to post a
0.00 ERA. He has yielded just six hits in 14 innings on the hill,
walking six and sitting down 17 opponent batters via strikeouts.
Opponents have managed a measly .120 batting average against
Liberatore in his two games.
The Golden Eagles will host a three-game series against the
University of Toledo this weekend. Friday's game starts at 3 p.m.,
with Saturday's start set for 2 p.m. and the final game on Sunday
at 1 p.m.
