SB’s Orme Tabs Third Big 12 Pitcher of the Week Honor of the Season

IRVING, Texas – Baylor softball junior Dariana Orme was named the Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Week, announced Tuesday morning by the league office.

Orme, who previously won the award on Feb. 21 and March 21, is the first Baylor pitcher to win three conference weekly awards in a season since Gia Rodoni was honored with Pitcher of the Week honors six times during the 2018 season.

With her third weekly award of the season, Orme picked up one win on the week, appearing in two of Baylor's three games. She posted a 0.00 ERA through 9.0 innings pitched.

The junior struck out seven on the week, pitching a complete-game shutout against No. 4 Tennessee in game one of the two-game series, while only allowing one hit. Entering in relief in game two, Orme pitched two complete innings, striking out two, including the game-winning strikeout to secure the Bears' second win over the top-5 team in the country.

Orme only walked one batter in game one, allowing just four hits total, while holding the Vols to a .125 batting average.

Next, Orme and the Bears take on Louisiana Tuesday, April 11, at 6 p.m. CT at Getterman Stadium.
