TROY, Alabama – After a career weekend in the circle, Troy freshman Annie Willis has been named Sun Belt Pitcher of Week, the league office announced on Tuesday.
Willis was key in Troy's 5-0 sweep at the Diamond 9 Citrus Classic in Orlando, earning two of Troy's five wins. She pitched 13.0 innings, only allowed seven hits during the weekend and struck out 15 batters.
