Belle Vernon Area graduate and Penn State sophomore pitcher Bailey Parshall was tabbed as the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week for a stellar performance in the circle at the Clearwater Spring Break Invitational, as announced by the Big Ten Conference office Monday afternoon.

The left-handed pitcher from Belle Vernon, Pa., threw three complete-game shutouts over the weekend in the Clearwater Spring Break Invitational, leading Penn State to wins over Yale, Robert Morris and Western Michigan.

Parshall struck out double-digit batters in all three appearances, including a season-high 14 against Yale on Friday.

The sophomore has already totaled 117 strikeouts this season and just surpassed the 300-career strikeout mark with 301 to move into eighth all-time in the Penn State record books for career strikeouts.
