BIRMIGHAM, Ala. Ole Miss sophomore right-hander Lance Lynn was named the SEC Pitcher of the Week for his dominating performance in last Saturday’s 6-1 win over No. 1 Vanderbilt, the league office announced Monday.
Lynn carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning against one of the SEC’s top offenses. Only four Commodores reached base and just one advanced past first. The Brownsburg, Ind., native struck out five, walked three and allowed only one hit and one run (unearned) in a career-long 8.0 innings of work for his second win of the season.
It was the first loss of the season for the Commodores and snapped a 20-game winning streak on Vanderbilt’s home field.
The Rebels head to Mobile Tuesday to face the South Alabama Jaguars at 4 p.m., before returning home for a three-game series with Alabama beginning Friday.
