Gonzaga right-hander Daniel Bies was named the Rawlings/WCC Pitcher of the Week for his shutdown performance at San Francisco over the weekend, league officials announced Monday.

Bies dominated league leader USF in a 6-0 complete game shutout win for Gonzaga on Friday night. The redshirt junior right-hander pitched his third complete game of the season and recorded his first career shutout. He struck out 11, walked none and allowed six hits.

The shutout lowered Bies’ WCC era to 2.27 in six starts and his season ERA to 2.51.

Gonzaga will continue WCC play with a home series against Loyola Marymount, beginning Friday at 6 p.m.
