MONMOUTH, Ill. —
A standout performance in the circle last week has
earned Amanda Murdock (Aledo, Ill./Aledo) her first Midwest
Conference Softball Pitcher of the Week award.
Murdock, a senior right-hander, threw the best
game of her three-year career with the Fighting Scots last Thursday.
She didn’t allow an earned run in six full innings of work in a 2-1
loss to Cornell. The Rams’ only runs came via two errors in the
fifth inning. Murdock hadn’t allowed a runner past first in her
three-strikeout, three-hit performance until the fatal fifth. The
senior’s stellar outing came just two days after she worked 3.1
innings in a 10-2 loss to Augustana.
For the week, Murdock posted a 3.00 ERA, more
than a full run below her season average.
