Thayer Named NFCA Pitcher Of The Week
St. John Fisher College's
Lindsey Thayer has been selected as the Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division III Pitcher of the Week for the week ending March 6.
Thayer helped fuel a 9-1 start by the Cardinals by going 5-0 with 73 strikeouts and just two walks over 35 innings. The St. Lawrence High graduate allowed only four unearned runs for the week, while tossing two seven-inning two-hitters (combined 35 strikeouts), a three-hitter (10Ks), a four-hitter (14Ks) and a five-hitter (14Ks).
Last season, Thayer was Fisher's first pitcher and first freshman to be honored an All-American, as she earned a spot on the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-America Third Team.
In addition to the All-American award, Thayer earned a spot on the NFCA Northeast Region First Team and garnered the Empire 8 Conference Pitcher of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors.
