RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Chrys Hildebrand has been named Big West Pitcher of the Week after going 2-1 in three appearances in the Amy S. Harrison Classic this past weekend.
Hildebrand struck out 12 batters in the Classic opener against Sacred Heart on Friday, allowing just two hits. A day later, she went the distance while striking out six in a 3-2 win over North Dakota State.
For the weekend, Hildebrand amassed a 0.74 ERA and collected her third 10-strikeout game of the season after breaking UCR's Division I single-game record with 18 against Southern Utah at the Mary Nutter Classic.
This is UCR's first weekly award of the season.
