UNC redshirt sophomore Austin Love was named the ACC Pitcher of the Week on Monday for the second time this season following an outstanding performance in the Tar Heels’ 3-2 win over Georgia Tech last Thursday.

Love threw his second consecutive complete game for UNC, while striking out a career-high 15 batters and allowing just two runs.

He opened and closed the season as the ACC Pitcher of the Week, winning the award in both the first and last weeks of the regular season.

Love leads the conference with 89.2 innings pitched and ranks third in strikeouts with 111, earning himself a spot on the All-ACC First Team on Monday as well.
