WEXFORD, Pa. (March 8) – Junior softball player Amanda Baughman swept the first set of Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) softball awards after her work at the plate and in the pitching circle this past Saturday against Trine.
Baughman was named both PAC Pitcher of the Week and PAC Hitter of the Week after collecting the game-winning hit against the Thunder and stifling their bats in a 4-2 win. The game was the season-opener for Waynesburg and it took place at The Rebel Games in Kissimmee, Fla.
Baughman drilled a three-run double in the third inning of the contest to break up a scoreless tie and give the Jackets a 3-0 lead. When she was in the field, the native of Washington, Pa. allowed just two hits and a walk, while picking up a pair of strikeouts. She didn't allow a hit through the first three innings of the seven-inning affair.
