No-Hitter Earns Minter Wilson/CCAA Softball Pitcher of Week Honors
Chula Vista native now a perfect 13-0 on the season
April 24, 2006

Carson, CA -- On the heels of tossing her first career no-hitter, pitcher Kristine Minter (Chula Vista, CA/Hampton University) has been named the Wilson California Collegiate Athletic Association Softball Pitcher of the Week for the week of April 17-23.

A junior from Chula Vista, Minter was one pitch away from a perfect game in the 7-0 win over Cal State San Bernardino on April 20, allowing the sole Coyote to reach base with a walk in the 4th inning on a 3-2 pitch that was called ball four. Otherwise, Minter literally was unhittable, as CSUSB's final eight batters failed to hit the ball out of the infield. On the day, the junior faced just 22 batters, one over the minimum required for 7 innings of work, and fanned four in improving to a perfect 13-0 on the season.

This is Minter’s second PiOW award this season, having captured her first such honor for the week of February 20-26.

The Toros face Cal State Monterey Bay this afternoon before returning home for their final home stand this weekend, hosting Sonoma State on Friday, April 28, followed by a national showdown against the reigning Far West Champs San Francisco State the next day. CSUDH will also honor the eight seniors playing in their final regular season home game of their careers when they face SFSU.
