When a no hitter is thrown, people are bound to take notice.
Fort Lewis College pitcher Victoria Johnson was named the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week for her complete-game, five inning no hitter in an 8-0 win over Cameron University on Friday.
The senior didn’t stop there. Johnson received her third win of the season against Eastern New Mexico by allowing two earned runs on six hits with 10 strikeouts.
Johnson and the Skyhawks finished the weekend Sunday with a 7-6 loss to Lubbock Christian University.
In all, Johnson pitched three complete games and earned a 2.53 ERA while giving up only 14 hits and compiling 18 strikeouts.
