Mar 29, 2010 | General, Softball
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Maverick pitcher #Lindsey Slocum# earned both the MIAA pitcher and hitter of the week after throwing a perfect game and driving in four times as many runs at the plate as she allowed score while pitching.
Slocum threw a perfect game Sunday and went 2-0 last week with a 0.95 ERA. She faced the minimum 15 batters in game two against MSSU and struck out 10 of them. No Lion put a ball in play in fair territory until the fifth inning, when the leadoff hitter flew out to centerfield. The next batter tried bunting to get on, but Slocum fielded the ball and threw her out at first. Slocum then got the next batter to pop up to second base to give her the gem. She struck out the side in both the first and fourth innings.
She also picked up a win Friday against Pittsburg State, allowing two runs with four strikeouts. Slocum also pitched 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief Wednesday at Wayne State.
On top of throwing a perfect game Sunday against MSSU, Slocum produced huge numbers at the plate, driving in four times as many runs as she allowed score as a pitcher.
