Baseball: Mildren receives two Player of the Week awards

Pitt sophomore pitcher Ethan Mildren received College Sports Madness Big East Player of the Week… Pitt sophomore pitcher Ethan Mildren received College Sports Madness Big East Player of the Week honors on Tuesday.

College Sports Madness is an independent website that reports on college sports teams from across the country.

It’s the second award for Mildren this week, as the Big East Conference named him Pitcher of the Week on Monday. Mildren pitched a complete-game, 6-0 shutout against Cincinnati on Saturday.

He allowed four hits, collected seven strikeouts and walked just one batter in the Panthers’ win. His performance led Pitt to its first Big East Conference victory of the season.

“Ethan had a great outing. We really needed it,” Pitt baseball head coach Joe Jordano said in a Pitt news release. “It was a must-win game for us, and he did a tremendous job. Acknowledging his performance was well-deserved and appropriate.”

Just two Bearcats reached scoring position in the Panthers’ win.

Mildren — who leads Pitt’s pitching rotation with a 3.65 ERA — has thrown 16 straight scoreless innings. On March 24, he started against Notre Dame and allowed three runs in the first inning, but the Fighting Irish didn’t score for the rest of the game.

He’s the first Pitt player to be awarded Pitcher of the Week this season.
