COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Freshman Trinity Harrington has earned Mountain West Softball Pitcher of the Week honors for her complete-game shutout last week against Northern Colorado.
In the team's only contest on the week, Harrington shut down the Bears, limiting them to zero runs and two hits over seven innings. She struck out five and issued just one walk in CSU's 6-0 victory.
Harrington, a Greeley, Colo., native, retired the first nine batters she faced, and didn't allow a runner on base until a hit by pitch in the fourth inning. The Bears didn't record a hit until the fifth. During the game, UNC never advanced past second base, and just once -- in the seventh inning due to a fielding error -- did the Bears have multiple runners on base in the same inning.
On the season, the freshman is 3-3 with 0.69 strikeouts per inning and a 3.4:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Including last week, Harrington has tossed complete-game shutouts in each of her past two starts. She is the 10th CSU freshman to ever earn MW player of the week honors, including the third in the past four seasons.
After a weekend off, CSU travels to San Jose, Calif., this week to take on the Spartans, beginning Thursday. CSU has won 12 of its last 16 games entering April.
