Walnut Creek, CA -- Junior Jennifer Martinez (La Habra, CA/CSULB) has been named the Worth California Collegiate Athletic Association Softball Pitcher of the Week for the week of February 5-11, it was announced this afternoon by the CCAA Office.

Martinez, a junior from La Habra, went 3-1 with a 1.35 ERA as she threw every pitch for the Toros in leading them to a 3-1 opening weekend over Cal State Monterey Bay, including a 5-inning no-hitter in Friday’s nightcap.

On day one, Martinez kept the Toros in the game after the Otters scored 3 runs in the middle innings, fanning four against just one walk as CSUDH staged a come-from-behind win. In the nightcap, she was literally unhittable, tossing 5 innings of no-hit ball in the 8-0 win. She faced just 15 batters, one over the minimum for 5 innings, fanning 3 against just one walk.

After falling in a pitcher's duel in game one the following day, Martinez came back strong in the nightcap, scattering 4 hits and allowing just one unearned run.

On the weekend, Martinez threw all 26.0 innings in four games, boasting a 3-1 record and 1.35 ERA. She allowed 5 earned runs in four games and boasted a strikeout-to-walk ratio of nearly 3:1.

CSUDH packs its bags for Phoenix this weekend as the Toros take part in the Schutt Lead Off Classic, scheduled for February 15-17, before traveling to Humboldt State the weekend of February 23-24.
