For the second consecutive week, the ACC Pitcher of the Week hails from NC State as Matt Willadsen threw a two-hit shutout to lift the Wolfpack to a 7-0 win to complete the series sweep against Boston College on Sunday. It also marks the second straight week that the honor has been awarded to a Pack freshman, as classmate Chris Villaman was recognized on April 5.
Hailing from Holly Springs, North Carolina, Willadsen logged his first career complete game, allowing just two hits with five strikeouts. He retired 15 consecutive batters spanning from the first through the sixth innings and did not allow an extra-base hit. Willadsen is the third NC State pitcher this season to go the distance on the mound, and the Wolfpack is the only ACC program to have more than one pitcher throw a complete game this season.
