SB | Earle Takes Home Second WCC Pitcher of the Week Award
5/2/2022 11:00:00 AM | Softball
SAN MATEO, Calif. — Saint Mary's Softball won their weekend series against Pacific, the final home weekend series of 2022, and a huge pitching performance helped get them there. Sofia Earle tossed a pair of complete game wins for the Gaels, and was recognized by the West Coast Conference as their Pitcher of the Week.
Earle regained her dominant form this weekend as she tossed a pair of complete games against the Tigers, helping Saint Mary's win their first WCC series of the season. She combined to strikeout 16 Tigers, walk just three, and allow 11 hits over her 14 innings, while only allowing two runs (one earned). Earle now owns 10 complete games on the season, and set a new career-best in strikeouts with 130 (her previous best was 123 from last season).
This is the second time during the season that Earle has taken home the WCC Pitcher of the Week award, the first time that she has won the award twice in one season. Earle is now the fourth pitcher in the West Coast Conference to win the award multiple times this season.
The final home game of the season for Saint Mary's takes place on Wednesday, May 4 at 3:00 pm as the Gaels welcome in No. 24 Stanford for the final game of their two-game series. The Gaels went to Stanford earlier in the season and lost on February 24, part of a difficult back-to-back against Cal and Stanford. Following the final home game of the year, Saint Mary's will close out West Coast Conference play over the weekend with a three-game series at BYU, beginning on May 13.
