The junior went 2-0 against 15th-ranked Georgia, including a perfect game in the series finale
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Alabama junior Lexi Kilfoyl was named the SEC Softball Pitcher of the Week following a 2-0 weekend against Georgia, including a perfect game in Monday's series finale.
Kilfoyl went 2-0 over three appearances last weekend against the Bulldogs, allowing just three runs to the league's top-ranked offense over 13.2 innings pitched for a 1.54 ERA. She struck out a season-high eight batters on Sunday before coming back with an even better performance on Monday, striking out 10 in a six-inning perfect game to clinch the weekend series. The perfect game was the first of Kilfoyl's career and the sixth in Alabama softball history.
The weekly award is the first this season for Kilfoyl and her first career Pitcher of the Week honor, previously winning Freshman of the Week (Feb. 17, 2020) and Newcomer of the Week (March 16, 2021). It is the third Pitcher of the Week for the Crimson Tide this season after Montana Fouts won back-to-back awards on Feb. 21 and Feb. 28. Alabama pitchers have now won a combined 48 SEC Pitcher of the Week awards all-time.
