Hintz Named MEC Pitcher of the Week

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. – Sophomore pitcher/outfielder Reagan Hintz of the Concord University softball team has been named as the Mountain East Conference Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced Monday afternoon.
 
Hintz made appearances in all four games Concord played in at the Moyer Crossover Tournament over the weekend.
 
The Melfa, Virginia native gave up just three earned runs across 13.2 innings of work. The right-hander punched out 20 batters in four games, and she ranks fourth in the MEC with 56 strikeouts.
 
In the final game of the weekend, Hintz slammed the door shut on Mansfield, earning a save in the 6-2 Mountain Lion win. Hintz is one of just seven pitchers with a save this season in the conference.
 
This is Hintz's second time taking home the award this season, previously winning the honor February 23.
 
Davis & Elkins' Ashlyn Zapach was named the MEC Player of the Week.
 
The Mountain Lions open MEC play with a doubleheader against Charleston Friday at 12:00 p.m. in Athens.
