Bowling Green, Ohio - Bowling Green's Alan Brech (Harrison, Ohio) has been named this week's Mid-American Conference West Division Co-Pitcher of the Week after striking out a career-high 10 batters in a 5-1 victory at Northern Illinois on Friday, April 15.
Brech shares the honor with Western Michigan's Charlie Christner who struck out a career-high 12 in a 9-1 win vs. Eastern Michigan on Sunday.
In addition to striking out 10, the left-hander allowed just six baserunners in eight innings of work and surrendered just one extra-base hit of the five he allowed. The sophomore picked up his fourth-consecutive victory to improve his record to 5-1.
Brech leads the Falcons with a 2.11 ERA in 42.2 innings of work this season. He has a team-high 44 strikeouts to go along with just 10 walks. Batters are hitting just .247 against him.
BGSU (22-10 overall, 7-5 Mid-American Conference) travels to IPFW today, April 19, for a 3 p.m. (EST) game then hosts Dayton on Wednesday, April 20, at Warren Steller Field beginning at 3 p.m. (EST).
