NE10 Pitcher of the Week

Lindsey Hibbs, Adelphi
Junior | Pitcher | Brampton, Ontario, Canada

In Thursday's nine-inning victory over Saint Rose, Hibbs took a perfect game into extra innings and struck out 25 batters along the way (fourth-most ever in a single game by a Division II pitcher). She did not give up an earned run in the 4-0 week for the Panthers and has not surrendered an earned run since Apr. 16.

Jones had a big final week of the regular season for Pierce softball, where she collected five hits in 10 at-bats to hit .500 through four games played. Throughout the same span, Jones was walked 4 times, scored 4 runs, drove in 3 RBI and hit her first collegiate home run (inside the park) with one stolen base. She also contributed a .667 on-base percentage, slugged .800 and was a perfect 1.000 from the field with 9 putouts and two assists.
