BGSU's Gottshall named national pitcher of the week

Bowling Green State University redshirt senior Payton Gottshall has been named the National Fastpitch Coaches Association's pitcher of the week.

Gottshall also earned the Mid-American Conference pitcher of the week honors Tuesday.

The Massillon, Ohio, native was dominant in her three appearances last week against Cleveland State. Gottshall had a 3-0 record without allowing an earned run. She allowed just five hits in 21 1/3 innings and held her opponents' batting average to just .072.

In her three appearances, Gottshall struck out 51 and did not walk a batter.

In the Falcons' season opener last Friday, Gottshall threw a one-hit shutout, striking out a school-record 20 batters.
