Maro named CCAC Pitcher of the Week

CHICAGO --- University of St. Francis' Isabella Landeros (Frankfort, Ill.) drove in runs in seven of eight games and St. Ambrose University's Leah Maro (Davenport, Iowa) registered two wins and a save during the seven-day period between April 6-12 to claim Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference weekly softball accolades, the league office announced on Wednesday.

Maro's CCAC Pitcher of the Week honor was her second of the season.

She needed just five innings in each game – a 10-2 triumph over Judson University last Tuesday and an 11-1 victory against Trinity Christian College on Saturday – to earn the two wins, allowing no more than two runs in either of the contests. Her save came in a three-inning effort of a 3-0 shutout of Judson University last Wednesday.

The junior pitcher recorded 17 strikeouts against just one walk in her 14 innings of work last week, while posting a 2.00 earned run average. She improved to 13-5 on the season with the two victories.

St. Ambrose remained in the thick of the CCAC race with its perfect 6-0 week. The Bees are currently 25-12 overall and 15-2 in the CCAC to sit second in the standings.
