Hansen Named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week
02/27/23 | Softball
SAN FRANCISCO – After winning games against No. 3 Florida, No. 19 Northwestern and No. 24 Missouri, Stevie Hansen has been named the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.
At last week's Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic, Hansen went 4-0 with a 1.27 earned run average. She yielded six runs – four earned – on 14 hits in 22.0 innings. Hansen struck out 13 and walked four.
Hansen threw a complete game, one-hit shutout against the Gators. She didn't allow a hit until a two-out single in the sixth inning, and faced just two batters over the minimum. Neither runner advanced past first base. Hansen struck out one batter and did not walk any.
She was just as effective against Northwestern. Hansen retired the first seven batters she faced and her only blemish on the afternoon was a solo home run by Jordyn Rudd in the fourth inning. After the Ducks took the lead in the top of the seventh, Hansen closed the game out with a 1-2-3 bottom of the seventh including a called third strike on Emmie Farnum for the final out of the game. Her final line was one run allowed on four hits with five strikeouts and two walks.
Hansen also got the win in relief against Missouri after getting the Ducks out of a jam in the fifth inning and threw five innings in relief against UC San Diego for her fourth win of the weekend.
This the first career Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week award for Hansen, who has won eight decisions in a row.
