Missouri State senior RHP Clay Murphy was named the Missouri Valley Conference Baseball Pitcher of the Week on Sunday.
Murphy struck out 10 in 8 innings, did not allow a run, struck out 10 and only let up 3 hits in the Bears 4-3 win over 22nd ranked Oklahoma State last week. Murphy took a no hitter into the fifth and did not allow a base runner past first until the seventh.
Clay is from Shawnee High and lives in Wolf Lake Illinois.
Tyler Gidwell drove in the only run of the game in the first inning with a sac fly and Greg Smith did the rest on the hill as Smith struck out six allowing on two hits and no runs as Shawnee blanks Cobden 1-0. Shawnee is now 5-2 on the season.
