ATLANTA — Belhaven University junior Macy Funderburk was named the Collegiate Conference of the South Softball Pitcher of the Week on Monday. This is the third time in her career she has received the honor, according to CCS officials.
Funderburk played a key role out of the bullpen in the Blazers’ series against Covenant. She earned two wins in relief, pitching 8.2 scoreless innings, allowing only two hits, striking out 10 and issuing no walks. Opponents hit just .071 against her during the outings, as she effectively worked ahead and limited scoring chances.
Through Monday, Funderburk’s season stats include a 5-3 record, a 1.15 ERA over 36.2 innings, and 55 strikeouts. She has held opponents to a .169 batting average. The Blazers have a few days off before hosting Huntingdon on Friday at 1 p.m. in a rematch of last year’s CCS Tournament Championship Game.
