GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Louisville senior outfielder Levi Usher has been named the ACC Player of the Week, and Virginia junior left-hander Nate Savino earned ACC Pitcher of the Week honors.
 
ACC weekly baseball honors are determined by a vote of a select media panel and announced on Mondays throughout the regular season.
 
Usher, of Fairfax, Iowa, went 9-for-15 (.600) with two doubles, a triple, a home run, four runs scored and was 6-for-6 on stolen bases in Louisville’s 3-1 week that included a victory over No. 15 TCU and a series win over visiting Michigan.
 
Usher drove in at least one run and had one stolen base in each of the Cardinals’ four games. He had three hits in Sunday’s win over Michigan, falling one double shy of hitting for the cycle.
 
Virginia’s Savino needed just 103 pitches and struck out seven batters in a complete game, five-hit shutout in the series opener against Duke on Friday (March 11). The Sterling, Virginia, native did not allow a Duke batter to reach second base and finished his outing by retiring the final 10 batters he faced.
 
The nine-inning, complete-game shutout was the first by a UVA pitcher since Derek Casey against Virginia Tech in 2018. Including Savino's gem, six pitchers in college baseball this season have been credited with complete-game shutouts.
