ST. LOUIS – Illinois State's Morgan Day has been awarded Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week laurels after a dominating performance in the circle this past weekend, which included a complete-game shutout of No. 16/15 Indiana.
Day went 2-1 at LSU's Purple & Gold Challenge on the weekend, opening the five-game set with her first complete game shutout of the season in a 6-0 victory over Stephen F. Austin. She stepped into the circle again on Saturday afternoon and went the distance in Illinois State's upset of nationally-ranked Indiana, tossing a season-high seven strikeouts to hand the Hoosiers just their second loss of the season.
