Submariner info from KSU article

K-State's press release previewing the weekend series in Austin contains a whole paragraph on recent Golden Giant signee Adam Cowart:
Junior Adam Cowart has become the most consistent starting pitcher for K-State so far in 2005, opening up 5-1 with a 1.99 ERA in 45.1 innings while walking just three. Cowart did not walk a batter until the sixth inning of start No. 5. In his first start, Cowart was brilliant through 8.0 innings in a win over Northwestern, giving up just one unearned run in the first inning while striking out four and walking none. The junior scattered eight hits, seven singles and a double, on the afternoon and shut out the Wildcats over the final 7.0 innings of his outing. Cowart threw just 83 pitches in eight innings and recorded 11 ground ball outs. He followed that up with another stellar outing against Northern Iowa. Cowart was brilliant and struck out 10 Panther hitters while not walking a batter in eight innings. The Pearland, Texas, native retired the final 12 batters he faced and scattered six hits, all singles. Cowart threw 100 pitches on the night, 77 of which were strikes, and only fell behind in the count to two of the 28 batters he faced. Cowart moved to 3-0 after throwing 5.0 innings in a 30-4 win over St. Francis and 4-0 after a win over Eastern Michigan. Then, Cowart threw eight shutout innings in his Big 12 debut at Oklahoma State to move to a perfect 5-0.
