Whittaker was lights out inside the circle for Central Connecticut, which swept a pair of doubleheaders from Saint Peter’s and Holy Cross to improve to 6-0 on the season. The reigning NEC Pitcher of the Year did not allow a single hit on her watch and combined for 9.0 innings of shutout softball in a relief appearance against the Peacocks on Sunday and a start against the Crusaders on Monday. Entering Sunday’s game with her team facing a 5-3 deficit in the fifth frame, Whittaker tossed two scoreless innings and fanned three batters to set the scene for a come-from-behind victory that was capped by a walk-off home run from Ava Cino. The following day, the Garden State product was impenetrable. Issuing just two walks while registering 13 strikeouts, the senior threw the Blue Devils' first no-hitter since 2003 en route to scoring a 5-0 triumph over Holy Cross. Whittaker, who improved to 3-0 with this weekend’s victories, enters the week ranked first in opposing batting average (.120) and fifth in strikeouts (20).
