Ex-Ad Pease OVC ‘Pitcher of the Week’ at TTU
“Pease was a game-changer for the Golden Eagles twice during the week, tossing 9.2 innings while securing a save and a win with 10 strikeouts and no walks,” stated Mike Lehman of TTU Sports Information.
“He opened the week with a spotless frame in Tech’s win at Middle Tennessee (State), striking out two batters to pick up his third save of the year,” Lehman added. “The sophomore followed it up with a career-high 8.2 innings of work in just his second career start, facing Southeast Missouri in the rubber game of this huge OVC series.
“He allowed just two earned runs in the contest, fanning a career-high eight batters while scattering six hits and holding one of the league’s best offenses in check. He held batters to a .176 average and 0.62 WHIP for the week.”
Pease will be remembered, among many stellar performances as an Admiral, for his gutsy complete game pitching gem in the 2022 Division I-4A state title game against West Tennessee power Houston at Murfreesboro Oakland High School — his final performance as an Admirals senior — holding the Mustangs to one run in a 4-1 Farragut victory.
The 2022 Admirals staff ace induced a game-ending grounder-turned-double play with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh inning.
