BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Freshman Grant Richardson and junior Tanner Gordon swept the Big Ten weekly awards on Monday following a weekend sweep of the Iowa Hawkeyes. Richardson was named the Big Ten Player and Freshman of the Week, while Gordon earned Big Ten Pitcher of the Week honors. It marked the first weekly awards for both players in their career.
Richardson hit .471 on the week with two home runs, 11 RBI, two doubles and a stolen base. In last Tuesday's win at Indiana State, he went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI.
In the Iowa series, he was 3-for-4 in the Saturday game against the Hawkeyes, driving in four runs and doubling. He followed that up with another 3-for-4 effort on Sunday, driving in three runs with a home run.
In his first nine career games, he is hitting .417 with 15 hits, 11 runs, three home runs and 17 RBI (tied for second on the team).
Gordon fanned a career-high 12 batters against the Hawkeyes on Saturday, besting last's weeks 10-strikeout effort against Canisius. In his last two starts, the junior righty has struck out 22 batters, while allowing just seven hits and two earned runs in 15 innings.
It marks the first time in program history that Indiana has earned all three weekly awards.
