Braden Carmichael’s big-time performance last week at West Virginia was recognized when the Big 12 Conference named him Pitcher of the Week.
Carmichael recorded a season-high 10 strikeouts and took a no-hitter into the eighth inning of the Sooners’ 9-1 victory in Morgantown on Saturday.
Carmichael, a third-year sophomore from Prosper, TX, who joined the Sooners this year from Grayson County College, retired 13 consecutive hitters between the third and seventh innings. He left after a leadoff walk I the eighth, walked just four Mountaineers and threw 124 pitches.
It’s Carmichael’s first career Big 12 honor, and the fourth for the Sooners this season.
