Ignowski Earns Third MAC West Pitcher of the Week Honor

Ignowski went 2-0 over the weekend to help the Eagles with wins over both BGSU and Toledo
CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — For the second consecutive week and third time this season, the Mid-American Conference has named Eastern Michigan University softball pitcher Jenna Ignowski (Niles, Mich.-Niles) the MAC West Pitcher of the Week.
Ignowski is one of four Eagles to receive a weekly award this season, joining teammates McKenna Russ (North Canton, Ohio-Hoover), Stacie Skodinski (South Bend, Ind.-Washington), and Lauren Wells (Lowell, Ind.-Lowell) who were each honored in previous weeks.
Ignowski maintained a flawless 0.00 ERA after going 2-0 this weekend in the Eagles' doubleheader sweeps over both Bowling Green and Toledo to improve her overall mark to 11-3 on the year. The righty hurler was nearly perfect in EMU's 7-0 win over Toledo on April 9, throwing a complete game shutout while fanning seven in the circle. Ignowski allowed a leadoff double to start the game, but then retired the next 20 batters and faced the minimum in the seven-inning shutout. Against BGSU, the Niles, Mich. native added yet another complete game shutout to her already-impressive résumé and tied a career-high 12 strikeouts in EMU's 1-0 win over the Falcons. Over 15.0 innings in the circle, the sophomore gave up just four hits and held her opponents to a meager .083 batting average while striking out 20.
Ignowski and the Eagles will return to the field today, April 12, as they host Oakland University for a mid-week doubleheader at Varsity Field. First pitch is slated for a 3 p.m. start.
