A suburban Milwaukee native has been named the Horizon League’s baseball pitcher of the week. Kevin Wild of Brown Deer is a senior at Valparaiso – and he threw a no-hitter for nine innings last week until he gave up a double in the 10th against UW-Milwaukee. But the runner didn’t score – and Wild ended up with a no-decision as Valpo scored a 1-0 victory. Ryan Boss of Illinois-Chicago is the Horizon League position player-of-the-week.
