Austin Love Earns ACC Pitcher of the Week
February 22, 2021 | Baseball
CHAPEL HILL – Redshirt sophomore Austin Love was named ACC Pitcher of the Week after his season debut against James Madison on Feb. 19.
Â
The Salisbury, N.C., native made his first career start against the Dukes and impressed, as he threw 6.0 hitless innings which yielded nine punchouts, zero runs and two walks.
Â
His nine strikeouts tied his career high, a mark that he established against Dallas Baptist on Feb. 23, 2020.
Â
Love's performance laid the foundation for an 8-1 win on opening day, which was Head Coach Scott Forbes' first career win.
Â
The Tar Heels return the diamond tomorrow (Feb. 23) against Elon at Bryson Field at Boshamer Stadium. First pitch is slated for 3:30 p.m.
