SAN LUIS OBISPO – After tossing a complete-game, one-hitter during a 1-0 victory against UC Davis (May 6) and combing with senior Krystyna Allman for a second one-hit win against the Aggies (May 7), Cal Poly softball freshman righthander Paige Maier was named Big West Conference Pitcher of the Week on Monday.
Â
After allowing two hits during the final two innings of Cal Poly's May 6 series opener against UC Davis – a 5-0 loss – Maier returned in game No. 2, striking out four and conceding just a fifth-inning hit as the Mustangs edged the Aggies, 1-0.
Â
During Cal Poly's May 7 series and regular season home finale, Maier took over for Allman to open the fourth with the matchup tied, 2-2. She allowed just one baserunner and no hits to close the game and Cal Poly scored in the fourth and sixth innings to secure a 4-2 victory.
Â
For the three-game series, Maier – who improved to 6-2 with the pair of victories – posted a 0.00 ERA in 13.0 innings while limiting UC Davis hitters to .071 batting average.
Â
Monday's honor was the first of Maier's career.
Â
As a program, Cal Poly closes its 48-game season when visiting UC San Diego for a three-game, May 13-14 series. Action gets underway with a 1 p.m. doubleheader on Friday, May 13. Â Â Â
