Left-hander earns third career weekly league distinction
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Longhorns standout Dylan Volantis garnered Southeastern Conference Co-Pitcher of the Week honors, the league office announced Monday afternoon.
Volantis shared the prestigious recognition with Oklahoma's Cord Rager and Florida's Cash Strayer.
The 6-foot-6, 220-pound southpaw registered a career-long seven innings to guide No. 3 Texas to a 9-1 victory over UC Davis in the series finale at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Sunday afternoon.
Volantis limited the Aggies to one unearned run on one hit, while matching a career-best eight strikeouts.
In just his second career start, the sophomore took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, retiring 14 of the first 16 batters he faced.
Volantis cruised through the visiting lineup, facing the minimum through five innings. Overall, he tossed 56 of his 78 pitches for strikes.
This marks Volantis' third career weekly league distinction, as he collected a pair of SEC Freshman of the Week plaudits last season.
The Longhorns continue their season-opening eight-game homestand against Lamar on Tuesday. First pitch is slated for 5 p.m.
