LSU sophomore left-hander Kade Anderson was named on Monday the Southeastern Conference Co-Pitcher of the Week by the league office after the Madisonville native pitched a complete-game shutout on Thursday night in a Top 10 road win over Oklahoma.
He was also named the Golden Spikes National Pitcher of the Week for his performance.
Anderson limited the Sooners to five hits in 9.0 innings with two walks and a career-high 14 strikeouts. He threw 135 pitches and he retired 12 Oklahoma batters in a row to complete the outing.
His effort was the first complete-game shutout recorded by a Tigers pitcher since April 24, 2018, when AJ Labas blanked Lamar in Baton Rouge and the first complete-game since June 2, 2023, when Paul Skenes worked 9.0 innings in the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional.
Anderson leads the SEC this season in wins, and innings pitched, and he is No. 2 in the league in strikeouts (75).
