North Carolina sophomore Benton Moss was named ACC Pitcher of the Week in baseball for the week ending March 17 as announced by the league office Monday.

Moss earned his league-leading fifth victory of the year Saturday night as he carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning against No. 29 Miami.

He matched a season high with nine strikeouts in the win as he surrendered just two hits over seven scoreless innings, leading top-ranked North Carolina to even up the conference series, which it eventually won on Sunday.

Moss has registered at least seven strikeouts in each of his starts this season and ranks fourth in the ACC with 39 strikeouts.

The Enfield native is also holding opponents to a .174 batting average through his 31 innings of work, the fourth-lowest mark in the ACC heading into the third week of conference play.
