BLOOMSBURG, PA - Bloomsburg University softball pitcher Abby Wild (Collegeville, Pa./Perkiomen Valley) was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Central Pitcher of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday. It marks the first weekly honor for Wild this season.

Wild went 3-0 with three complete games, one shutout, and 23 strikeouts in 16 innings of work as the Huskies clinched the PSAC Central Division crown with a perfect 6-0 week - 4-0 against divisional opponents. Wild's masterpiece during the week came on Saturday in game one against IUP as she tossed a complete-game one-hit shutout in Bloomsburg's 8-0 six-inning victory. She walked four and struck out a career-high 11 batters in the win. The only hit she allowed was a single to IUP's very first batter of the game.

For the week, Wild limited opponents to a .175 batting average, allowing only 10 hits in 16 innings. Wild is now 17-7 with a 1.79 ERA on the year. She has thrown 15 complete games with four shutouts during the season.
