Texas Lutheran right-hander Chassety Raines named SCAC Pitcher of the Week
SEGUIN, Texas -- For the second time in her collegiate career, Texas Lutheran right-hander Chassety Raines has been named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week.
In the first game of TLU's doubleheader sweep of Whitworth, Raines tossed a complete-game, two-hit shutout on Saturday. She struck out five and did not walk a batter.
Raines, a sophomore from Spring, Texas, is the third Bulldog in three weeks to claim SCAC Pitcher of the Week honors.
Raines joins teammates Kayla Oliveira and Sydney Ouellette as SCAC Pitcher of the Week honorees this year.
Raines was in the circle for the first time since last year's national title game, in which she tossed a three-hitter in a complete-game performance against Emory (Ga.). Raines was named the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Division III Championship Finals.
Top-ranked Texas Lutheran opens conference play this weekend with a three-game series against the University of Dallas. Friday night's single game is set for a 6 p.m. start in Irving, Texas. Saturday's doubleheader is slated for a noon start, also in Irving.
Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
Sophomore Karina Campo of Dallas made two appearances last week at the Millsaps College Invite, both coming against the host Majors. Campo picked up her first career save in the Crusaders lone win of the weekend, going one inning allowing just one hit and no runs. Junior Allie Holbrook of Trinity scattered six hits over a complete-game effort to lead Trinity to a win over Whitworth on Sunday, salvaging a doubleheader split. Holbrook allowed just one sixth-inning run on those six hits, pitching her second complete game of the season and improving her record to 2-1 on the year.
