TTU’s Klein, OU’s Acker Collect Week 3 Awards
Texas Tech’s Brian Klein was tabbed the Big 12 Baseball Player of the Week, while Oklahoma right-hander Dane Acker earned Pitcher and Newcomer of the Week. A five-person panel of team radio broadcasters selects the honorees.
Klein hit safely in all five games last week with four multi-hit games. He scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning against No. 9 Florida State after doubling to lead off the inning. He reached base in 7-of-10 trips to the plate in the two-game sweep of the Seminoles.
Acker pitched a no-hitter against No. 11 LSU in the Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic on Sunday, striking out 11 batters and walking just one in the process. It was OU’s first individual nine-inning no-hitter since 1989 and it was the 11th individual no-hitter in Big 12 history, and first since 2017. The victory helped the Sooners finish 2-1 in the Shriners College Classic.
