Wright Tabbed ACC Pitcher of the Week
3/5/2024 11:32:00 AM | Softball
DURHAM – Senior pitcher Jala Wright was tabbed the ACC Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday, following two strong performances in Duke's three-game series sweep over Syracuse last weekend.
Wright went 2-0 in the circle, tossing 10.0 scoreless innings and collecting 10 strikeouts. The Charlotte, N.C., native led Duke's pitching staff to three straight shutouts as the Blue Devils outscored the Orange 16-0.
During game one of Saturday's doubleheader, Wright had a no-hitter going until the sixth inning, before the Orange broke through with a base hit. She allowed just three Syracuse batters to reach base on a single and a pair of walks in her 6.0 innings.
The senior made her second appearance on Sunday and struck out five in 4.0 innings of work to earn her second win of the weekend.
Wright holds a 0.37 ERA on the season and improved to 7-0, while surpassing 300 career strikeouts in the first inning of Saturday's contest. She has also thrown 20.0 consecutive scoreless innings, while collecting 29 strikeouts.
The honor marks the senior's second ACC Pitcher of the Week award this season, after earning the nod on Feb. 13.
The sixth-ranked Blue Devils hit the road on Tuesday, traveling to Elon for a midweek matchup against the Phoenix. First pitch is set for 5 p.m.
