GREENVILLE, S.C. – Lees-McRae softball senior pitcher
Jada Wilson has been named the Conference Carolinas Softball Pitcher of the Week after throwing two complete-game shutouts in wins against Newberry and Fairmont State.
In Sunday's 3-0 victory over Fairmont State, Wilson faced the minimum through six and one-thirds innings pitched and surrendered only two hits against the Fighting Falcons. Wilson recorded her fourth victory of the season and had a season-high seven strikeouts in the decision.
Wilson, a Valle Crucis, North Carolina native, secured her first complete-game shutout of the week in a 3-0 win against Newberry on Saturday. Wilson went the distance and scattered four Wolves' hits and struck out two batters in the afternoon.
Wilson lowered her season earned-run average to 0.21 after her third complete-game shutout in the 2023 campaign. Wilson holds a 4-1 record in five starts for the Bobcats and leads Conference Carolinas in ERA and earned runs allowed in five appearances.
The Lees-McRae softball team heads to Salisbury, North Carolina for a midweek doubleheader against Catawba on Thursday, Feb. 23.
