ADA — Junior Kaitlin Surdej (Lancaster/Central) has been named the Ohio Athletic Conference's Softball Pitcher of the Week for the week of Apr. 16, earning her first career OAC Pitcher of the Week nod.

Surdej earned the honor after the Polar Bears (24-4 overall, 10-2 OAC) went a perfect 4-0 last week.

The junior tossed two complete games for ONU, posting victories in each contest to win her tenth and eleventh victories this season.

She posted a 1.08 ERA during the week and struck out ten batters and now ranks second in the OAC with a 2.35 ERA and 11 victories.

The Polar Bears were scheduled to return to action on Tuesday afternoon against Otterbein, but inclement weather forced the contest to be postponed. ONU will welcome Anderson (Ind.) to the ONU Softball Field on Thursday at 3 p.m. for a twinbill.
