Nebraska baseball senior righthander Chance Hroch was named pitcher of the week Tuesday by the Big Ten Conference.

Hroch had one of the top performances of his career Saturday in a 3-1 win over Indiana. He matched a career high with 10 strikeouts and allowed just one run on three hits in what was his first career complete game. The lone run he yielded was on a solo home run with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Nebraska lefthander Cade Povich won the award last week, his second such honor of the season.

Nebraska wraps up its regular season this weekend by hosting Michigan for a three-game series Friday through Sunday. On Monday, the Big Ten champion Huskers will learn their postseason assignment as the NCAA tournament brackets are revealed.
