Pitcher of the Week: Schaeffer Hall
Junior LHP Schaeffer Hall of Kansas is our selection as our pitcher of the week for a complete game no-hitter against Air Force on Friday. He only allowed three walks on the day while striking out seven batters. Hall started the game off rough by walking the first batter he faced but settled down to retire the next 17 batters.
