CORVALLIS, Ore. – College of Idaho pitcher
Hannah McNerney and infielder
Trystin Crofts were honored as Red Lion-Cascade Conference Players of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.
In the first eight games of the 10-game Arizona trip for the Yotes, McNerney threw 25 1/3 innings while allowing only two earned runs on her way to Pitcher of the Week honors. The tall right-hander finished the week with three complete games to go along with a 2-1 record and a 0.55 ERA, highlighted by a three-hit shutout of No. 11 Hope International on Saturday.
Over the same stretch of action, Crofts was outstanding at the plate, crushing opposing pitching to the tune of a .480 batting average with two home runs and seven RBI to take home the Player of the Week accolades. Crofts came across the plate for 10 runs during the week and tallied 12 hits. The senior is coming off of a season in which she set C of I individual season records for hits (73), doubles (21) and total bases (119).
After wrapping up a stretch of 10 games in five days on Monday, the Yotes will not return to action until Feb. 21 when conference play gets underway at home against Carroll.
