March 17, 2025 | Softball
LOS ANGELES โ Junior Taylor Tinsley on the No. 6-ranked UCLA softball team was named Big Ten Pitcher of the Week, it was announced by the conference office Monday afternoon.
ย
Tinsley recorded a win and save while striking out 11 batters over 6.0 scoreless innings to help the Bruins (27-4, 3-0 Big Ten) sweep Purdue in its first-ever Big Ten Conference series. The right-hander started in the game one win and allowed just two of the 16 batters she faced to reach base (both hits) while striking out 10. The performance marked her third double-digit strikeout outing of the season and third of her career. Tinsley faced the minimum in all but one of her five innings in game one and did not allow a runner into scoring position
ย
In game two, Tinsley needed just 11 pitches to earn her second save of the season in a tight 2-1 victory. She has not allowed a run in each of her last three appearances dating back to her no-hitter at San Diego State on March 8. Tinsley dropped her earned run average from 2.56 entering the week to 2.26.
ย
On the season, Tinsley owns a 5-1 record and 77 strikeouts over 15 appearances and 49.2 innings pitched.
