BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – LSU senior right-hander Brittany Mack secured SEC Co-Pitcher of the Week accolades Monday as announced by the league office. It marks the fourth career weekly award for Mack from the SEC. She joins former All-American hurlers Kristin Schmidt and Emily Turner in a tie for the second-most SEC weekly awards acquired by a Tiger pitcher.
Mack secured two wins, tallied a 0.00 ERA and notched 16 strikeouts in her 14 innings of work. She has won seven consecutive decisions and cut 1.54 points off her ERA since March 3. The Round Rock, Texas, native battled the elements during a Tuesday triumph over Georgia Tech, a team receiving votes in both Top 25 polls.
During her Saturday start at South Carolina, Mack carried a no-hit attempt one out into the seventh inning. She finished with a one-hit shutout. In the process, Mack became the fifth pitcher in LSU history to eclipse 500 career strikeouts and reach the 50-win plateau.
LSU steps out of SEC action Wednesday to face McNeese State. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Cowgirl Diamond in Lake Charles. There is no radio broadcast for the mid-week contest, but live stats will be available inside the Geaux Zone on LSUsports.net.
