Southern earns honor

Fresno State pitcher Jamie Southern earns national player of the week recognition for the third time in her career

Staff Report / The Collegian

Jamie Southern earned another honor after last week’s record-breaking performances in the Fresno State softball team’s three-game sweep of Tulsa.


Southern earned victories in all three games during the weekend series at Bulldog Diamond.


After setting a new school and Western Athletic Conference record for career wins, Southern was named the national player of the week. It’s the second time this season, and third in her career, that Southern has earned the honor.


“When you’re Jamie’s coach, you think she deserves the honor every week,” Fresno State coach Margie Wright said in a news release. “On and off the field, she is a hard working individual who reaps the benefits because of her dedication.”


Record-breaking performances are nothing new to the senior All-America pitcher.


She now has 109 wins in her career, ranking No. 17 in NCAA history. Southern ranks eighth all-time with 72 career shutouts, 10th with 131 complete games, 12th with 1,232 strikeouts, 19th with 1,021 and two-thirds innings pitched, 20th with 137 starts and 29th with 8.4 strikeouts per seven innings.


“Growing up, I knew the history of the previous Bulldog pitchers, and I just wanted to continue that tradition,” Southern said in the release. “I wanted to continue their success. This award means I’ve contributed to the team, the season and to the future of Bulldog softball. It was nice to receive this award in the beginning of the year, but to be recognized now is very special as my senior year is winding down.”


Southern is 8-1 in her last 10 outings, with five shutouts, one save, two earned runs, five walks and 73 strkeouts. She has a 0.24 ERA over that span. Southern has a streak of 20 and one-third scoreless innings.


The Bulldogs (32-10, 8-1 WAC) are on the road the next two weekends. Fresno State visits Louisiana Tech for three games tonight and Saturday before visiting Nevada next weekend. The Bulldogs close the home schedule May 13 and 14 with three games against Texas-El Paso.
