Ball State senior pitcher Nicole Steinbach won her third Mid-American Conference West Pitcher of the Week award this season.
Over the weekend of March 18-20, Steinbach pitched against Massachusetts and Boston at the Maryland Tournament. She collected two wins to add to her team high total of eleven.
Her first outing was against the University of Massachusetts in which she went a full seven innings, allowing zero earned runs on four hits and striking out five. This marked her team leading 10th complete game of the year and her third complete game shutout.
She capped off her weekend when she relieved sophomore pitcher Carolyn Wilmes in the fourth inning against Boston.
