BAKER NAMED PSAC WEST PITCHER OF THE WEEK
Freshman
Rachel Baker was named the PSAC West Pitcher of the Week for the second time this season, the conference office announced Monday.
Baker is the sixth Rock athlete to earn Pitcher of the Week twice in the same season and the first since Kelsi Anderson in 2022.

Baker finished the week with a 2-1 record after earning a 2.10 ERA in 20 innings and striking out 16 batters.
In her two victories, Baker pitched seven innings in both matchups. In a 5-0 win over Edinboro, Baker pitched a complete game shutout, giving up just two hits and two walks with four strikeouts. During a 3-2 triumph over California (Pa.), Baker surrendered two runs on four hits and two walks with eight strikeouts.
USING THE LONG BALL
Slippery Rock used the home run to its advantage in its 4-2 clip last week. In the six games, SRU hit three home runs, all of which were solo shots.
Aubrey Mansfield and
Addie Warzala each hit a home run against the Griffins, while Massucci left the yard at California.
RACKING UP STRIKEOUTS
Baker's 63 strikeouts on the season paces The Rock and slots her eighth in all the PSAC in punchouts. In her last outing, Baker struck out eight California batters en route to earning the win in seven innings of work.
