CARY, N.C. – UC Santa Barbara’s Jackson Flora tossed a complete-game shutout against conference rival Cal Poly on April 2 en route to earning Golden Spikes Award x D1 Baseball Week 8 Player of the Week honors.
Flora’s outing marks the second consecutive year that he has gone the distance in shutout fashion against the Mustangs, as he scattered four hits, yielded two walks, and fanned nine batters. The shutout made it 34 consecutive innings without allowing a run for Flora, the first streak of even 20 clean frames in a row by a Gaucho since at least 2016.
He lowered his ERA 0.69, which ranks second in the country, and is 6-0 through eight starts on the season. He was recently named to the 45-player Golden Spikes Award Midseason Watch List after earning a spot on the preseason watch list in February.
