Gregory Named Pitcher of the
Week
SHAWNEE
– Senior pitcher Kindra Gregory pitched her way to the Sooner Athletic
Conference Pitcher of the Week award as the University of Science and Arts
steamrolled its way to four straight wins last week.
The Lexington native
collected two shutout wins over conference opponents Oklahoma Christian and
Southern Nazarene to help USAO, the No. 8 team in the country, post a 12-3
record overall and a 4-0 record in SAC play.
Gregory struck out
eight batters while only giving up five hits and one walk in an 8-0 win at
OC Friday. She backed that up with six strikeouts in a 2-0 decision over SNU
at home the following day. With the recent wins, she improved to 6-1 on the
season with a 1.57 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 53.2 innings pitched.
Gregory and the
Drovers prepare for the national stage this weekend. The team will travel to
LaGrange, Ga., for a weekend appearance in the National Fastpitch Coaches
Association Leadoff Classic.
The tournament starts
Friday with a 10 a.m. game against Tiffin University. USAO continues play at
4 p.m. versus William Woods University and 6 p.m. versus William Penn
University.
