Jacey Gray and Miranda Benschoter have been named this week's Ohio Community College Athletic Conference (OCCAC) player and pitcher of the week, respectively, in softball.
Gray, a sophomore outfielder from Owens Community College, went 4-for-9 (.444) with two runs, an RBI and two stolen bases in a pair of wins over Heidelberg University last week. This season, she is hitting .582 (39-for-67) with 23 runs, one double, seven RBI, seven walks and 26 stolen bases in 20 games.
Benschoter, a freshman right-handed pitcher from Owens Community College, tossed a one-hitter in a 3-1 win over Heidelberg University on April 5. She allowed just one unearned run and five walks while striking out seven. Furthermore, she didn't allow a hit until one out in the seventh.
This season, Benschoter is 7-4 overall with one save and a 2.75 ERA in 63.2 innings. She has thrown four straight complete games and struck out 58 on the season.
Congratulations to both players!
