Chattanooga’s Baileigh Pitts was named the Southern Conference softball Player of the Week the league office announced Monday.
Pitts started all three games at UNC Greensboro in left field. She went 6-for-12 (.500) for the weekend, helping Chattanooga retain it spot at the top of the SoCon. She recorded a double, home run and sac fly and drove in seven runs in the series.
In the opening game Saturday, Pitts went 4-for-4 with four RBI. She was a triple shy of the cycle leading off with a single in the second, had an RBI double in the third, a solo home run in the fifth and a two-RBI single in the sixth to put the Mocs up 6-3 for the win.
She drove in the Mocs second run in a 6-5, nine-inning win in the second game on Saturday.
Pitts added a pair of RBIs in the series finale Sunday afternoon. She grounded out to third, driving in the Mocs second run of the game and her single to centerfield in the fifth gave UTC a 4-1 lead.
