MOBILE, Ala. — South Alabama freshman pitcher Devin Brown has been named the Sun Belt Conference Pitcher of the Week for the second time this season.
The award is the third weekly Sun Belt honor for a South Alabama player in the last four voting periods.

In four appearances over the weekend, Brown allowed four earned runs on eight hits. She closed the tournament with back-to-back eight-strikeout outings on the final day against Marshall and South Carolina.

Through the early part of the season, Brown has:
- A 1.88 ERA with 18 earned runs allowed in 67 innings
- 123 strikeouts
- Two saves and two shutouts in 16 appearances
- A .145 opponents’ batting average
She is tied for the Sun Belt lead in strikeouts and ranks among the top three in the conference in ERA, opposing batting average and wins.
