Baseball

Throwing the first no hitter for Kansas State since 1991 apparently also earns you the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week Award. (KStatesports.com)

In winning the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week, Parker Rigler also threw the second complete game of his career, and lowered his ERA this season to an eye-popping 1.96. (Staff reports, The Capital Journal)

The Wildcats will host Northwestern State for a two game series tonight and tomorrow. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. both days. Everyone needs to come out and support the red-hot BatCats! (Avery Osen, The Collegian)
