ARLINGTON, Texas – California Baptist’s
Makayla Medellin and Utah Valley’s
Lily Riley have been named the Jersey Mike’s A Sub Above Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Softball Player and Pitcher of the Week, for the game week ending on Sunday, Mar. 8.
Medellin, a senior outfielder, slugged her way to WAC Player of the Week after hitting five home runs and compiling 12 RBIs at Boise State’s Blue Collar Classic. Medellin drove in multiple runs in four of five games in the tournament including a pair of four-RBI games. Medellin went 2-for-3 with two home runs in the Lancers’ 5-1 victory over Boise State and hit a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning against Weber State on Friday to secure the 6-4 win for CBU.
Riley, a sophomore right-handed pitcher, led Utah Valley to a series win over Pacific, notching two wins and a 1.28 ERA in her two games started for the Wolverines. Riley threw a complete 10-inning game, the longest outing in program history, in a 5-3 extra-inning victory on Sunday where she struck out seven batters and allowed only six hits. Riley tossed 6.1 shutout innings in the first game of a Saturday doubleheader against Pacific, picking up four strikeouts. Riley currently leads the WAC this season in wins (9) and ERA (2.20).
