Texas pitcher Cat Osterman is the Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division I Player of the Week for the week of March 25-31.
Osterman, a freshman from Houston, Texas, posted a 2-0 record with one save in three games last week. Osterman tossed a perfect game against No. 24 Baylor, striking out 17 of the 21 batters she face. The perfect game was the second in Texas history, both by Osterman. She had another 17-strikeout performance in a win over Kansas and followed with a save against Kansas. She allowed one run in 15.2 innings pitched for a 0.46 earned run average. Her 38 strikeouts last week give her 331 for the year, putting her 34 strikeouts away from breaking the Texas single-season strikeout mark.
