April 09, 2019 | Softball
Sophomore Danielle Watson earns her first career weekly honor
The University of Louisville's Danielle Watson was named ACC Co-Pitcher of the Week for the period ending April 7. This marks the sophomore's first conference weekly honor.
Watson posted a 0.00 ERA on the week surrendering only one unearned run and two hits for a .053 opp. batting average and striking out 13 in 12.0 innings of work.
The Osceola, Ind., native posted a complete game one-hit shutout and struck out seven in Louisville's 2-0 upset of No. 3/3 Florida State which entered the weekend ranked second in the nation in batting average and third in home runs. In that game, she retired 10 Seminole batters at one point and 16 of the last 18 to end the game and halt the Seminoles' 10-game win streak. Watson also pitched 6.1 innings in a 10-9 win against Florida State on Monday.
In Louisville's midweek 7-2 win at Western Kentucky, Watson struck out three as she retired all six batters she faced in the final two innings. She also connected on her first career home run in that game.
Watson now leads the team with 112 strikeouts in 106.2 innings and a .213 opponent batting average.
The Cardinals (25-14, 6-6 ACC) will travel to Boston College for a three-game ACC series this weekend.
