March 17, 2004

Walnut Creek, CA -- Cal State Dominguez Hills pitcher Lisa Grove (Buena Park, CA/Kennedy HS) has been named the Wilson / California Collegiate Athletic Association Softball Pitcher of the Week for the week of March 8-14.

Grove, a junior from Buena Park, fired a complete-game three-hit shutout at Chico State in the second game of the March 12 doubleheader to lead the Toros to a 4-0 win. She struck out three and walked only two while retiring the Wildcats in order three times. She finished the game retiring 13 of the last 15 batters she faced, including nine-consecutive Wildcats from the end of the third inning through the middle of the sixth frame.

Grove helped her own cause with two hits and two RBI, including a solo home run to lead off the sixth inning.

The Pitcher of the Week honor is Grove's second of the year, following her first Pitcher of the Week honor received for hurling a no-hitter at Western New Mexico in her Toro debut (Jan. 26-Feb. 1).

CSUDH faces nonconference foe Vanguard on Friday, March 19, with first pitch of game one scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. start.
