LAFAYETTE – Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball senior pitcher Summer Ellyson was the recipient of the Community Coffee Sun Belt Conference Pitcher of the Week award on Tuesday, following a week in which she claimed a pair of victories, struck out at least six batters each of her three starts and limited foes to just six hits over 17 innings.
Her highlight of the week was throwing a six-inning perfect game in Louisiana's 8-0 victory over Lamar on Feb. 11 – her first career perfect game and fourth career no-hitter.
Against Lamar, Ellyson did not blink the entire evening, striking out 11 of the 18 batters that she faced for her first shutout of the young season.
