NW Briefs: Lincecum tops Pac-10 pitchers
Washington's Tim Lincecum, who set several school and Pac-10 records this season, was named Pac-10 Conference Pitcher of the Year on Wednesday.
The right-hander from Liberty High School of Issaquah leads the nation with 12 victories and 199 strikeouts, both school records. He also set UW marks for career victories (30), career strikeouts (491), and career innings (342). Lincecum's 491 career strikeouts are the most in Pac-10 history.
Oregon State outfielder Cole Gillespie was named the Pac-10 Player of the Year, Arizona State's Ike Davis Freshman of the Year, and Oregon State second baseman Chris Kunda Defensive Player of the Year and Oregon State's Pat Casey Coach of the Year.
Three other Huskies joined Lincecum on the All-Pac-10 first team — senior outfielder Zach Clem, junior first baseman Curt Rindal and sophomore outfielder Matt Hague.
Washington State had two first-team picks — senior outfielder Jay Miller and freshman pitcher/outfielder Jared Prince.
Also on the first team were Arizona State's Colin Curtis, a junior outfielder from Issaquah , and Stanford's Chris Minaker, a senior infielder from Lynnwood.

Washington junior Alex Prugh is fourth individually after a first-round 67. Defending NCAA individual champion James Lepp is tied for ninth after a 3-under 69. Kyle Reifers of Wake Forest leads after a 7-under 65. The tournament continues through Saturday.
