LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Nebraska baseball’s Brett Sears was tabbed Monday as the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week.

Sears led the Huskers to a shutout win Friday against Ohio State, pitching all nine innings and giving up only two hits.

The Iowa native struck out 10 hitters, marking his fourth outing this season with over seven strikeouts and zero walks.


No Husker has thrown a complete game and given up two or fewer hits since Matt Waldron against Michigan State in 2019.

Nebraska is back on the road this week to face Kansas on Tuesday and Rutgers in a three-game series starting on Friday.
