NCAA records, lights out pitching highlight 2018 Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division I weekly honors

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Two NCAA records and two dominant pitching performances were showcased as Belmont’s Lexi Rouse, Alabama’s Alexis Osorio and LSU’s Carley Hoover earned Louisville/Slugger NFCA Division I National Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, for games played March 5-11.

Rouse left the yard in five straight at-bats, snapping a 16-year old NCAA Division I record held by Canisius’ Jill Iacono (2002), and homered a total of six times last week. The first of her consecutive dingers came in her final at-bat against Mercer. The two-run shot extended the Bruins’ lead to 3-0 and proved to be the winning hit. The senior from Macon, Ga. continued her streak with three solo blasts in a defeat to Kennesaw State. Rouse capped off the record streak with another solo shot to put Belmont on the board in a 4-0 triumph over Mercer.

Osorio became just the second NCAA Division I pitcher and first since Cal’s Michele Granger in 1991 to strike out 21 batters in a seven-inning game. Sitting down all 21 Fordham Rams, Osorio also set a single-game program record. The senior from Riverside Calif. also added a no-hitter in her first start of the week, shutting out the Boston College Eagles.

Hoover was a big reason LSU swept then-No. 10 Auburn in its SEC opening series in Baton Rouge. The senior righty picked up two wins by striking out 18, not allowing a run, walking one and limiting a high-powered Auburn offense to just nine hits and a .176 batting average over 14.2 innings of work.
