Kelly Barnhill earned her fourth consecutive SEC Pitcher of the Week award
Barnhill Earns Fifth SEC Pitcher Of The Week
Tuesday, May 2, 2017 | Softball
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Four the fourth consecutive week and fifth overall time this season, sophomore Kelly Barnhill was tabbed as the SEC Pitcher of the Week.
Barnhill produced her 11th shutout and 12th complete game of the season in Florida's win 5-0 at No. 11/8 Tennessee Friday night. It was the Gators' first shutout in Knoxville since the series finale on March 9, 2012. She recorded 12 strikeouts, a season-high for her opponent.
Her performance marked the sixth time and fifth SEC opponent she has achieved this feat against this season. Barnhill extended her scoreless inning streak to 50.1 innings, which eclipses her previous streak of 45.2 she achieved earlier this season.
Barnhill's five SEC Pitcher of the Week awards are the most by a Florida player in a single-season and second most earned over a career as Hannah Rodgers and Stephanie Brombacher each earned four and Stacey Nelson accumulated six SEC Pitcher of the Week awards throughout their careers.
The No. 1 Gators are slated to take on No. 2 Florida State in Tallahassee tomorrow at 7 p.m. for the final game of the Fresh from Florida Sunshine Showdown series.
