UCLA senior right-hander Tyson Brummett has won three Pac-10
Pitcher of the Week honors in 2007 season, leading the surging
Bruins back into the national rankings. In his most recent
start on Friday, May 4th, Brummett registered his sixth win
in his last six starts to up his record to 9-4 for the year.
The Salem, Utah native overcame allowing five runs (only four
earned) off nine hits in 6.2 innings by striking out five
Cal Bears to keep him amongst the national leaders in both
wins and strikeouts (88 K’s). In 15 appearances this
year, Brummett has logged a 2.92 ERA in 104.2 innings and
only allowed 22 walks.
Brummett has earned the victory in each of his last six starts
and, prior to Friday’s outing, he had pitched a complete
game in each of his last three starts (and four of his last
six) to become just the 14th pitcher in UCLA history to record
six or more complete games in a season.
Earlier this season, Brummett was named Pac-10 Pitcher of
the Week after throwing a complete game victory in UCLA's
Pac-10 opener at Stanford on Friday, March 30. The senior
right-hander also earned the weekly honor after recording
his second complete game in as many outings on Friday, Feb.
23 at Cal State Fullerton, where he struck out a season-high
10 batters.
Last year Brummett appeared in 17 games, making 15 starts
and hurling 97.2 innings (third-most on the team). He compiled
a 6-7 record, 4.52 ERA and fanned 83 batters while issuing
just 32 walks. He recorded 12 strikeouts and no walks in 8.0
innings pitched, allowing two runs (one earned) off six hits
in his second victory of the season at #17 NC State to earn
his first Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week recognition.
UCLA has now won 19 of its last 24 games, the team's best
such 24-game span since 1997 (when the Bruins last went to
Omaha). The Bruins, play at Pepperdine on Tuesday (the Waves
are 22-5 at home) and at Arizona State this weekend (May 11-13).
