Ian Hamilton Named Pac-12 Player of the Week
May 16, 2016 | Baseball
Hamilton was impressive in six-plus innings to lead the Cougars to a 7-2 series-clinching victory at No. 14 Washington Saturday, giving Washington State its first road series win of the season and its first series win in Seattle since 2004. The Vancouver, Wash. native struck out four and allowed just two earned runs on five hits to earn the win. Hamilton allowed one run in the first inning and cruised throughout the day, using double plays in the third and fifth innings to hold off any UW scoring threats.
The two-time All-Pac-12 selection paces the Cougars with 56 strikeouts, 75 innings and 13 starts this season.
It is the first career Pac-12 weekly accolade for Hamilton and the second of the season for the Cougars after Trek Stemp was named Player of the Week following a series victory over No. 10 Oregon State.
