The Trojans right fielder smashed her first collegiate home run in a 7-2 win over Missouri S&T on Sunday, a game in which she also collected her second double of the weekend.
 
The Trojans will put their eight-game winning streak to the test by visiting No. 5 ranked Young Harris College this weekend for the YHC Invitational. After a pair of games on Friday with Young Harris, the Trojans play two with Columbus State.
 
Pitcher of the Week
Megan Fisher
Findlay
RHP

Wapakoneta, OH (Wapakoneta HS)
 
Fisher did it all against a program that will be classified as Division I next year as the Oilers swept Bellarmine with an impressive season-opening series in Louisville.
 
In her first turn through the rotation this season, Fisher tossed a seven inning complete game effort against the Knights in game one of Sunday’s doubleheader.
 
The junior went the distance for all seven innings and gave up a pair of unearned runs while recording a pair of strikeouts.
 
She was staked to a four-run lead by the fifth inning and Findlay finished strong for a 5-2 win.
 
Fisher helped her own cause with the bat, going 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI. She batted cleanup in the second game and homered, putting a 2-for-3 line in the box score with two runs and two RBI.
 
The 2-0 Oilers will take the field next on Friday in Rosemont, Ill., vs. McKendree and Winona State.
