MVC Release
ST. LOUIS - Southern Illinois pitcher Brad Harrison has been selected as the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Week, the league announced Wednseday. Harrison allowed just one hit in eight shutout innings at SEMOÂ last week, and he holds a 3.79 GPA in civil engineering. Drake's Maddy Dean was the Valley's female Scholar-Athlete of the Week.Â
Harrison allowed only one infield single in eight shutout innings at Southeast Missouri on Tuesday night. Remarkably, Harrison allowed only one ball to leave the infield all game, a third-inning fly out to left field. After SEMO's leadoff hitter reached on an infield single, Harrison essentially pitched a perfect game the rest of the way—SEMO's only other base runner reached on a dropped third strike. For the game, Harrison piled up a career-high 13 strikeouts and did not walk a batter. Harrison extended his active scoreless streak to 18 innings. For good measure, Harrison also added an RBI single in SIU's 10-4 win over Northern Illinois on Saturday.
Harrison also earned the MVC's weekly academic honor last week.Â
Southern Illinois hosts No. 24 Illinois this weekend for a three-game series. Friday's game starts at 4 p.m.; Saturday's game starts at 2 p.m.; and Sunday's series finale starts at 1 p.m. All three games will be broadcast on ESPN3.
