Kelsey Garner tabbed co-pitcher of the week by the NJCAA

Western Nebraska Community College freshman pitcher Kelsey Garner was tabbed NJCAA co-pitcher of the week after picking up three over the weekend, including a pair of wins over Trinidad State and a win over Otero. In 16 innings last week she allowed 14 hits, five runs (one earned) and two walks and struck out 13. With six strikeouts in the opening game of the Trinidad State double header, Garner broke the single-season strikeout record at Western Nebraska. The previous record was 153 set last season. Garner is currently tied for the most single-season wins with 21.

Garner shares this week's honor with Wallace State's Holli Hill, who also won three games and had 38 strikeouts in 20 innings of work. Hill
threw a perfect game in the 8-0 win over Snead State, striking out 11 over six innings. Against Northwest Shoals she threw a one-hit shut out, striking out 15.
