Shuck Named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week

J.B. Shuck was named the Big Ten Conference Pitcher of the Week after pitching the Buckeyes to a 1-0 victory vs. Memphis Saturday at the Service Academies Spring Classic in Millington, Tenn. He struck out a career-high nine and allowed just two hits and two walks in 6.0 innings against the first team on the Buckeyes' schedule that played in the 2007 NCAA tournament. Between the fourth and sixth innings he retired seven consecutive batters and allowed only one Tiger to reach third base. It was the first time Shuck, a junior from Galion, Ohio, earned Pitcher of the Week honors.
