Thayer Named National Pitcher Of The Week For Second Time
St. John Fisher College's
Lindsey Thayer of the softball team has been named the Louisville Slugger/ National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division III Picther of the Week for the second time this season.
Thayer's week was highlighted on Thursday when she set a new Fisher softball record for strikeouts in a single game when she struck out 20 batters in a possible 21 outs, with the only other out coming on a foul ball out to right field in the seventh inning. She allowed just two singles and a walk in the contest, and broke her own strikeout record of 19, which she set two times this season, including two days before in a 2-0 win over Keuka College.
On the week, she totaled 87 strikeouts and only allowed two runs and 10 hits in the six-game stretch (6-0 record), while in four of the contests she posted 15 or more strikeouts.
