Millsaps College - Tammy Ladner, a sophomore pitcher from Gulfport, Miss., has been selected the SCAC Softball Pitcher-of-the-Week for games played the week of Monday, April 7 through Sunday, April 13.

Ladner garnered two crucial wins this past week, as Millsaps posted a 3-2 record, including three victories in four games over SCAC rival Trinity University to claim the SCAC West Division crown.

In the Majors' 4-0 game one triumph over Trinity on Saturday, Ladner displayed a marvelous performance from the circle, allowing only one hit in seven innings of work while facing just 23 batters.

On Sunday, Ladner again kept Trinity off balance, striking out four hitters, scattering three hits, and allowing one run as the Majors prevailed over the Tigers 9-1 in five innings.

For the week, Ladner pitched 18.2 innings, allowing four earned runs (1.50 ERA) and 14 hits while striking out eight and walking just two. In four appearances, she won two games (both against Trinity) and lost one (non-conference against Miss. College on Thursday).

For the season, Ladner has compiled a 9-3 pitching mark and boasts a team-best ERA of 1.72 (second in the SCAC). Opposing batters are hitting .249 off Ladner (fourth in the SCAC) and her nine wins are good for third in the league.
