Gottshall earns MAC Pitcher-of-the-Week honors for fourth time in 2022
CLEVELAND, Ohio (BGSU Strategic Communications) – Bowling Green State University softball standout Payton Gottshall has earned Mid-American Conference Pitcher-of-the-Week honors yet again. The announcement was made by the league office on Tuesday afternoon (April 5).
Gottshall earns the honor for the fourth time this season and the eighth time in her BGSU career.
Gottshall, a native of Massillon, Ohio (Perry H.S.), went 3-1 with an earned-run average of just 0.97 and 37 strikeouts in 21-plus innings last week. Her one loss came against nationally-ranked Michigan, as she allowed two earned runs vs. the Wolverines.
Over the weekend, Gottshall earned the win in all three games as the Falcons swept Toledo at Meserve Field. She went 3-0 with an ERA of just 0.42, a miniscule opponent batting average of .089 and 30 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings, allowing just one run in the entire series.
In Friday's series opener, Gottshall surrendered just two hits and struck out 15 batters in a complete-game victory. UT's lone run came in the seven inning on a walk, a steal and a pair of sac bunts to cut BG's lead from 7-0 to 7-1. The next day, Gottshall fired a one-hit shutout vs. the Rockets, walking just one batter while striking out 11. She came back in the second game of the doubleheader to pitch 2 2/3 innings of two-hit shutout relief as the Falcons rallied for the win, with four of the eight outs coming via strikeout.
On the year, Gottshall is 12-6 with five shutouts, a 1.37 ERA and an opponent batting average of .177. In MAC play, she is 5-2 with an ERA of 0.68 and 59 strikeouts in 41 innings.
Gottshall shared this week's MAC Pitcher-of-the-Week award with Ball State's Angelina Russo.
BGSU is 17-9 overall, and the Falcons are 5-3 in MAC play heading into today's (Tuesday, April 5) game at Western Michigan. Following a three-game series in Kalamazoo, the Falcons will be home to face Buffalo this weekend. BGSU is slated to battle the Bulls in a Saturday (April 9) doubleheader and a Sunday (April 10) single game at Meserve Field, and admission is free.
