Northwest Christian’s Jill Suratt has been named the Red Lion Softball Pitcher of the Week.
 
Suratt, a junior from Beaverton, Ore., had one of the best weeks of pitching for NCU softball in over two years. Picking up both victories in NCU's first-ever sweep of Southern Oregon, she allowed two earned runs over 13 innings, including a three-hit shutout in game one. She took the a game-two loss against #24 College of Idaho but allowed just one earned run. Then on Saturday, Suratt got back in the win column in the second half of a double-header as the Beacons swept Eastern Oregon to remain alive in the hunt for the fourth and final playoff spot. She allowed just two earned runs while striking out four.
 
Honorable mention:  Nickayla Skinner, C of I; McKenzie Marshall, CU
