TUCSON, Ariz. â€" Houston Baseball junior Andrew Lantrip produced a career-night in a win at No. 23 Alabama this past weekend and in turn was tabbed a Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, announced by the organization Monday.
The Livingston, Texas native tied his career-high in strikeouts with 13 and didn't walk a batter in his 8.0-inning outing. Lantrip allowed just one run on six scattered hits and held the Crimson Tide scoreless until the seventh inning.
With his 13 strikeouts in 8.0 innings, he now leads the club with 32 strikeouts in 26.1 innings pitched and is 2-2 on the season with wins over Villanova and No. 23 Alabama.
