Freshman pitcher Amy Harris was named the Pacific-10 Conference Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday for her performance in Oregon’s Seminole Classic win last weekend.
Harris won two games for the Ducks against No. 9 Florida State and No. 17 Georgia as Oregon swept through the Seminole Classic and improved to 8-1 on the season. She gave up only one run in her start against the Seminoles and held the Bulldogs scoreless in seven innings of relief work as the teams battled for 12 long innings Saturday.
It was the first time the Pac-10 has given out player-of-the-week honors this season.
Harris is a big reason the Ducks are off to such a successful start. The highly-touted recruit out of North Eugene High School has pitched 27.9 innings — by eight innings the most on the team — and has a 0.65 ERA. She holds a 3-1 record, but gave up only one earned run in Oregon’s 3-1 loss to Arkansas, a game that had several Duck errors.
The softball team will head to San Diego for its third tournament of the season this weekend, starting Friday.
