Byers grabs G-MAC honor

CANTON — Malone University freshman softball pitcher Kelsey Byers has been named the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) Pitcher of the Week after four solid outings last week.

Byers, who led West Branch High School to the state title game last year, led Malone to a 3-1 record, tossing four complete games. Over 27 innings pitched, Byers struck out 20, walked one and posted a 1.04 ERA. She also held opponents to a .167 batting average as Malone earned a sweep of Findlay on Wednesday and a doubleheader split with Davis & Elkins on Saturday.

On the season, Byers owns a 15-6 record with a 2.52 ERA and 121 strikeouts over 136 innings pitched. She leads the G-MAC in wins, strikeouts, innings, shutouts, and complete games (19) and is fifth in ERA.

Byers has helped Malone to a 17-13 record entering the final two weeks of the season.
