Martinez Named Big West Freshman of the Week
2/21/2022 12:57:00 PM | Softball
NORTHRIDGE, Calif.—CSUN's Alexis Martinez was selected Big West Conference Softball Freshman of the Week on Feb. 21.
Martinez struck out 12 Southern Utah batters as the Matadors shut out the Thunderbirds 4-0 in the Feb. 18 opener of the Matadors' play at San Diego State's Campbell/Cartier Classic. Martinez's strikeout total is the most by strikeouts in a game by a CSUN pitcher since Mar. 7, 2019, when Jillian James struck out 12 CSU Bakersfield batters. She did not walk a batter as she tossed a three-hitter. Martinez needed 95 pitches (67 for strikes) to face only three above the minimum.
She was the losing pitcher when California Baptist defeated CSUN 4-2 in the first game on Feb. 19. She allowed three hits in five innings, striking out one and walking one. Martinez picked up the win during the Saturday 3-2 victory over Southern Utah. Martinez pitched the middle three innings of the game, striking out five while walking one.
Martinez struck out 18 in 15 innings as opponents batted .182 against her during her three appearances.
The Matadors are at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic Feb. 24-26 in Cathedral City, Calif. The tournament begins for CSUN Thursday afternoon against Bethune Cookman on FloSports.com (for a fee) at 1 p.m.
