(RV) Rio Grande's Powell picks up RSC Softball Pitcher of the Week
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- (RV) University of Rio Grande senior Mallory Powell threw two great games to pick up River States Conference Softball Pitcher of the Week for April 9-15. She joins teammate Kelsey Conkey as players who have won both RSC player and pitcher of the week this year.
A native of Flatwoods, Ky., Powell threw a two-hit shutout over Midway (Ky.) in a key conference victory and then took a no-hitter into the sixth inning of an eventual 4-2 win over non-conference rival Shawnee State. The win over Midway covered 5.0 innings with four strikeouts, one walk and no runs in the 9-0 victory. She beat Shawnee State with four strikeouts, two walks and only two runs on two hits over 7.0 innings.
Rio Grande is "receiving votes" in the NAIA Top 25 at 26-11 overall and 10-2 RSC. The RedStorm hosts Carlow and Point Park this weekend April 20-21.
