After winning the Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week award on Monday, sophomore righthander Tim Clubb has added two more honors to his list, earning a spot on the College Baseball Foundation "National All-Star Lineup" and being named the Prairie Farms/MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week.
Clubb upped his record to 7-0 by tossing seven scoreless innings of three-hit ball against Illinois State on Friday. He retired the first 12 Redbirds he faced before allowing a walk and a double to begin the fifth.
The righty worked out of that jam unscored upon on his way to 10 strikeouts, his second consecutive double-figure performance. In his seventh and final inning, Clubb struck out the side to keep the shutout intact.
The Eureka, Mo., native ranks first in the MVC with 71 innings pitched and second with 68 strikeouts, and is the first Missouri State pitcher to win his first seven decisions of the season since reliever Andrew Jefferson in 2002.
Clubb carries a 3.30 GPA in advertising and promotions.
To qualify for Prairie Farms/Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Week laurels, student-athletes must carry a cumulative grade-point average of 3.00, completed at least one academic year at a Valley institution and must be at least a sophomore in academic standing. In addition to the academic qualifications, student-athletes will be evaluated on their athletic performance for a one-week period.
