Rebels’ Kerrigan named MWC Pitcher of Week

Wednesday, March 20, 2002 | 10:46 a.m.

UNLV softball player Jackie Kerrigan was chosen as the Mountain West Conference Pitcher of the Week. She becomes the first player this season to repeat as the league's top pitcher as the freshman star led the Rebels to a 4-2 record at the Capital Classic in Sacramento, Calif.

For the week, Kerrigan posted a 3-1 record in four appearances. In that span, she pitched a one-hitter, earned two wins in relief and suffered her only loss in a nine-inning outing against Miami (Ohio).

Her most impressive outing came in her shutout against Sacramento State. She allowed just two base runners, giving up one single and one walk. She retired the first nine batters of the game and faced only 23, striking out three.

Kerrigan and the Rebels next travel to Cedar City, Utah on Thursday to play a doubleheader against Southern Utah.
