BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – For the third time this season and for the second-straight week, Alabama fifth-year senior Montana Fouts was named the Southeastern Conference Softball Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday after a pair of complete-game wins over South Carolina including a no-hitter in game two.
The weekly award is Fouts' third this season and the 16th weekly award of her career, including four Freshman of the Week honors in 2019 and 11 previous Pitcher of the Week awards. Alabama pitchers have now won a combined 53 SEC Pitcher of the Week awards all-time.
Fours earned two complete-game wins over South Carolina last weekend, allowing just one unearned run over 16.0 innings pitched with 25 strikeouts. After tossing 9.0 innings with 15 strikeouts in game one against the Gamecocks, she followed that up with a no-hitter in game two, her second this season and the fourth of her career. She is one of just four Crimson Tide pitchers to throw multiple solo no-hitters in a season.
