CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Illinois' Ty Weber has been named the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week and the Big Ten Freshman of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.

Weber threw his first career complete game Saturday against Indiana State, allowing only a game-tying solo homer in the ninth, on his way to his to his second win of the year. Weber allowed only four hits and struck out a career-high seven, while walking just one.

Weber retired 15 in a row before Dan Geisler's home run tied it 1-1 with two outs in the ninth. He got the win after Pat McInerneny hit a walk-off solo homer in the bottom of the ninth.

Weber is the first Illinois freshman to earn Pitcher of the Week honors since Kevin Duchene did it May 13, 2013.
