Ashley Graham posted huge numbers in the home opening double header against Tarleton State.  She hit .714 on the day, connecting on 5-of-7 at the plate with two home runs, five RBI and three runs scored.  She slugged an impressive 1.571 and even stole a base.

LSC North Pitcher
Jami McAdoo, Southeastern Oklahoma State University
Jr., Pitcher, Rush Springs, Okla./Rush Springs HS
Jami McAdoo helped SOSU to a win in game two of its home opening double header against Tarleton State.  She tossed her first shutout of the season as SOSU picked up an 8-0 run-rule win in five innings.  She scattered six hits and struck out nine in the winning effort.  She did not give up a walk while facing just four more batters than the minimum for a five inning contest.

LSC South Hitter
Macy Baker, Angelo State University
Jr., Shortstop, Crowley, Texas/Crowley HS
Junior Macy Baker hit .500 as she guided the Rambelles to a 3-1 record and the title of the 2008 ASU Blue & Gold Classic. Baker went 5-for-10 from the plate with a double and a home run in ASU's four games in the event. She scored two runs and collected five RBI for the No. 5-ranked Rambelles. Baker hit safely in all four games, including a 2-for-3 performance in ASU's 2-1 win over West Texas A&M in the final game on Monday, a game that proved to be for the tournament championship.

LSC South Pitcher
Kristen Cruickshank, Eastern New Mexico University
So., Pitcher/Designated Player, Glendale, Ariz./Deer Valley High School
Kristen Cruickshank turned in a stellar week, allowing no earned runs and just one run in games against 10th ranked Cal State-Stanisalus, and California-San Diego- seeded first in the gold bracket of the Schutt Sports Division II Leadoff Classic. She tossed a complete-game, one-hit shutout against CSU-Stanislaus, shutting them down until the Zias finally scored in the sixth and seventh inning. Cruickshank retired the final 12 batters of that game. She also threw a four-hitter with four strikeouts against UC-San Diego before giving up the only run of the game during a three-error inning. For the season, she has both of Eastern's victories over top-20 teams, having defeated #17 Midwestern State earlier in the year
