HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss junior right-handed pitcher Abby Trahan has been named C-USA Pitcher of the Week for the week ending Sunday, March 17, the league announced on Monday.
Â
The Kaplan, La. native had an outstanding week in the circle, collecting two wins in three starts. In 20 innings pitched over the course of the week, the right-hander allowed 13 hits, three runs (two earned), issued four walks, struck out 20 batters and notched an earned run average of 0.70.
Â
In her first start of the week against Alabama State on Wednesday, Trahan pitched six scoreless innings, scattered five hits, recorded five strikeouts and earned the win in the Golden Eagles' 5-0 victory over the Hornets.
Â
After suffering a loss in a quality start against Florida Atlantic on Saturday in which she tossed a complete game and allowed six hits, three runs (two earned), issued two walks and struck out six, Trahan bounced back with her best performance of the season on Sunday.
Â
In her outing against Florida Atlantic in the series finale on Sunday afternoon, the junior navigated her way to a complete-game shutout, helping lead Southern Miss to a 2-0 win. In seven innings pitched, Trahan allowed just two hits, issued two walks, tied her season-high of nine strikeouts and picked up her second win of the week.
Â
For the season, Trahan has logged a total of 64 strikeouts in 79.1 innings pitched and is sporting a 1.68 earned run average.
Â
Trahan is part of a Southern Miss pitching staff that currently boasts the best earned run average (1.95) of any C-USA pitching staff and that has also allowed the fewest amount of earned runs (48).
