COLLEGE PARK, Md. -
Maryland pitcher Jimmy Reed has been named to the College Baseball 360 Primetime Performers Weekly Honor Roll for his performance in Maryland's series victory over then-No. 14 UCLA last weekend.
Reed, a left-handed junior, picked up a save in Friday night's 2-1 win by striking out the side in the ninth as Maryland won its first season opener since 2001.
On Sunday, he inherited a runner with no outs in the seventh inning, but used a strikeout and 6-4-3 double play to get out of the inning. He then recorded another two strikeouts in the eighth, and after allowing a pair of infield singles, induced a groundout to end the time-shortened game.
Overall, Reed struck out 6 of the 11 batters he faced and didn't issue a walk in three innings of work.
