Wright, Bortolotti earn conference honors after perfect week
April 11, 2011
Springfield, Mass. – Senior duo Ashley Wright (Merrimack, N.H.) and Jenna Bortolotti (Milton, Mass.) were named conference offensive player of the week and pitcher of the week, respectively, after leading the Gulls to a 6-0 week.
Wright enjoyed a solid week at the plate, hitting safely in all six games, with a batting average of .688 (11-for-16) with 10 runs, 11 hits, and six RBIs. She had six extra-base hits including five doubles in five straight games and a triple to go along with six stolen bases in six attempts. In addition, Wright’s patience at the plate earned her four walks.
Bortolotti pitched two complete-game shutout victories over conference opponents last week to help the Gulls improve to 19-5 overall and 13-1 in TCCC play. She limited her opponents to 10 hits and one walk while striking out nine batters in 14 scoreless innings. Bortolotti has now won six straight starts, improving to 8-3 on the season.
The Gulls will host three doubleheaders this week when they take on WNEC (Wednesday), Salve Regina (Thursday), and Babson (Friday) before traveling to New England College on Sunday.
