MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee right-hander Corrina Dodd produced a pair of gems in the circle over the weekend and was rewarded with Conference USA's Pitcher of the Week award, the league announced Monday afternoon.
The weekly honor is Dodd's first of her career and MT's first Pitcher of the Week award since Cori Jennings held the title in April 2018.
The Trafford, Alabama native entered the weekend with an ERA of 0.92 to lead Conference USA and place No. 23 nationally among pitchers with at least 30 innings pitched and lowered that ERA to 0.79 after giving up just one earned run in 14.0 innings pitched against Western Illinois and Mercer in Murfreesboro.
After stranding the tying run 60 feet from the plate to get the win in MT's first game of the weekend, Dodd turned up the heat on Sunday in a win over Mercer. Dodd started the game with 4.1 perfect innings before allowing the only Mercer base hit of the afternoon. Mercer batters faced a three-ball count just twice and advanced a runner past first only once. Dodd struck out her sixth Bear of the afternoon to end the seventh inning and finish off her third career complete game shutout.
Dodd's Pitcher of the Week award is MT's second weekly league honor of the season after Summer Burgess was named C-USA's Hitter of the Week on March 8.
The Blue Raiders are scheduled to host Jacksonville State on Wednesday at 3 p.m. CT in MT's first midweek contest of the season.
