SAN FRANCISCO - Three weeks, three awards for sophomore Megan Faraimo, as she was named Pac-12 Conference Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday. It is the second time this season Faraimo has earned Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week accolades, as she picked up the award on Feb. 11. The sophomore was also named NFCA National Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 18.
Faraimo was the winner in three of UCLA's four games at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic, striking out 36 in 19 2/3 innings and allowing just two runs and six hits, limiting opponents to an .094 batting average. She had double figures in strikeouts in all three games, fanning 10 in a three-hit complete game over Texas A&M on Friday.
Then on Saturday, Faraimo pitched 13 2/3 innings of relief in two wins, striking out 26. She set a new career high with 16 strikeouts in seven innings of two-hit shutout ball against Wisconsin, adding 10 Ks in 6 2/3 innings with one hit allowed versus No. 7 Florida.
Faraimo leads the Bruins with a 0.73 earned run average, a 9-0 record and 94 strikeouts in 57 2/3 innings. She has limited opponents to a .143 batting average, allowing just four walks and six earned runs. All seven of Faraimo's starts have been complete games, including three shutouts.
Faraimo is tied for first in the nation in wins, second in strikeouts and strikeout-to-walk ratio (23.50), tied for fourth in shutouts, 10th in walks allowed per seven innings (0.49), 28th in ERA and 30th in hits allowed per seven innings (3.52).
Faraimo has won seven Pac-12 weekly awards after earning five Freshman of the Week honors last season. Maya Brady was named Pac-12 Player and Freshman of the Week on Feb. 11, as UCLA has won four conference weekly honors in the first three weeks.
The top-ranked Bruins host No. 3 Texas on Thursday at 6 p.m. at Easton Stadium. A free live video stream will be available on UCLABruins.com.
