Hummel, who was named the Pitcher of the Week, had a perfect week in the circle, going 4-0 with a 0.78 ERA, 12 strikeouts, three complete games and two shutouts in 27 innings of action. She had two strikeouts in a 6-2 win over Cabrini University followed by four strikeouts in a 6-0 victory versus Neumann University.
