AOTW-PITCHER
Haley Kolmerten helped guide the Urbana softball program to a perfect 7-0 start to its 2013 schedule, as the team allowed just two total runs over its seven-game spring break trip. Kolmerten went 4-0 on the week, recording two complete-game shutouts, one combined shutout, and three total complete games.
In the team’s two most difficult games, Kolmerten earned the win in each, a 4-2 win over Randolph and a 2-0 shutout of Eastern. She totaled 21 innings, allowing two runs - one earned - for a 0.33 earned run average. She had an amazing 40 strikeouts to average almost 2 strikeouts each inning pitched.
Her best outing came against Robert Morris University, as she threw a six-inning complete game, allowing only one hit and recorded a strike out 14 on 18 of the outs she recorded.
Her 0.33 earned run average is only topped by her teammate, Lauren Anderson, who has a 0.00 in 14 innings pitched and a 3-0 record - which Kolmerten’s four wins rank tied for first in the conference, and her 40 strikeouts are second, seven behind Cedarville’s Courtnie Spain - who has thrown 21 more innings on the season than Kolmerten.
