The junior earns the first MAC award of his career
YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University junior right-handed pitcher Brad Allen (Manchester, Mich.-Manchester (Jackson College)) was named the Mid-American Conference West Division Baseball Pitcher of the Week today, March 27. It is the first weekly award of the season for the Eagles, as well as the first of Allen's EMU career.
Allen tossed an absolute gem in the 3-0 victory in game one of a doubleheader against Bowling Green State University Saturday, March 25. The righty threw a complete game shutout, only allowing five total baserunners, including just two hits, while striking out six. It was the first complete game of the season for the Eagles, and earned Allen the first win of his EMU career. The win also locked up the series win over the Falcons in the MAC opening weekend.
It was the first complete game shutout for EMU since Charlie Land threw one in an 8-0 win over Northern Illinois, April 24, 2015. The two hits allowed were also the fewest by an EMU pitcher in a complete game since Brian Hill tossed a two-hitter against Western Michigan, April 19, 2013.
On the season, Allen leads EMU with 25 strikeouts in 34.2 innings pitched. He is also third on the team with a 3.63 ERA.
Eastern returns to play tomorrow, Tuesday, March 28, when they host in-state foe Oakland University. First pitch from Oestrike Stadium is set for 6 p.m.
