Hunt painted a masterpiece in every game started in the circle as the Chargers finished 4-0 in the Great Midwest Championship bracket as the No. 4 seed in the eight-team tourney.
The freshman delivered in her moment to shine, going 4-0 with just one run given up in her 27 innings on the mound for the Chargers. She fanned 34 and was only touched for 10 hits.
The first team all-conference selection was the league leader in strikeouts, earned run average, and opposing batting average. She was a serious contender and in the conversation for both pitcher and freshman of the year honors as a rookie.
Hunt tossed a three-hit shutout in a dominant showing against the Trojans, an 8-0 final that finished in six innings. She struck out 12 hitters against a lineup that featured eight all-conference players.
She then moved on to handcuff top seed Cedarville. She gave up only two hits in that contest again without walking anyone or giving up a run while racking up 10 strikeouts in a 1-0 pitcher’s duel against the Yellow Jackets’ Moragan Arbogast.
In her first game against Kentucky Wesleyan she allowed only three hits and still blanked the Panthers, giving up her first two walks of the tournament while still striking out eight.
She finished off the Panthers in the championship series, again going the distance in the circle and allowing her first run of the tournament while giving up 10 hits but striking out four Panthers.
