Porter takes home her second Akadema NEC Pitcher of the Week honor after she helped the Blackbirds to two wins in the USF Under Armour Showcase last weekend, including a 5-2 triumph over Boston University on Mar. 14 and a 8-0 blanking of Central Michigan on Mar. 15. The junior righty fanned five against the Terriers, allowing just four hits, and followed with a four-strikeout performance against the Chippewas, holding them to three hits with only one runner making it past second base. For the tournament, Porter struck out 16, gave up nine hits in 19.1 innings pitched and boasted a 0.72 ERA. On the season, Porter has totaled 67 Ks and currently has the LIU pitching contingent’s best ERA (2.62), while holding batters to a .240 clip over 72.0 innings of work.
