COLLEGE PARK, Md. -
Maryland junior David Carroll has been selected as the Primetime Pitcher of the Week by CollegeBaseball360.com for his performance in the Terrapins' 5-0 win over No. 7 Florida State on Saturday.
Carroll pitched 7 1/3 shutout innings to help the Terrapins end a 40-game losing streak against the Seminoles that dated back to the 1998 season. The 5-0 shutout was Maryland's first home win over FSU since 1993.
The 6-foot-8 right-hander allowed just three hits and kept the ball in the infield for nearly all of his outing, with the ball reaching the outfield just five times (two of the three hits, three fly-outs). Carroll also struck out a season-high seven and induced inning-ending double plays in the fifth and seventh.
Carroll, who is in his debut season at Maryland, has a 5-1 record and ranks sixth in the Atlantic Coast Conference in innings pitched (46.0) and 10th in ERA (2.15). Over his last three starts (vs. Boston College, at then-No. 3 Virginia, vs. No. 7 Florida State) he has given up just two earned runs in 21 1/3 innings.
Carroll was also named to the CB360 Primetime Performers weekly honor roll earlier this season after beating then-No. 6 Texas during an opening-week series.
Southern Mississippi's Marc Bourgeois was named the Primetime Player of the Week after going 10-for-17 with nine RBI, four runs and two home runs to lead the Golden Eagles to a 4-0 record.
Primetime Performer Award Criteria (not based solely on raw stats, but rather ...)

• Involved in clutch performances, such as late game-winning hits, noteworthy comebacks, game-changing plays, team leadership, key defensive efforts, etc.
• Performed at a top level against a team rated highly nationally (or within its conference), with bonus consideration given for key performances away from home field and vs. traditional rivals.
