With 114 pitches, Carey tossed a complete game, 12-strikeout gem to start off a series sweep against Urbana. He gave up just four hits and allowed an unearned run as OVU won by an 8-1 final.
Carey issued just one walk as he punched out the first two batters he faced. He also retired the first two hitters he saw on strikes in both the fifth and sixth innings and didn’t allow a hit until one out in the fourth inning.
The deceptive lefty Carey now sports an impressive 11.37 K/9 ratio in 19 innings of work. His ERA sits at 1.89 and he’s logged 24 strikeouts as opposed to just four walks.
This is Carey’s second career conference pitcher of the week honor.
