BOSTON – Taylor Holmes of the Suffolk softball team has been crowned HeroSprots.com DIII Pitching HERO of the Week after winning a week-long national poll.
Holmes was nominated for the honor Tuesday on the heels of a 2-0 week and a GNAC Corvias Pitcher of the Week nod. The right handed pitcher from Ashford, Connecticut grabbed 60.2 percent of the votes, more than 127 than the second-place finisher with 322 of the near 535 submitted to receive the acknowledgement.
Holmes took home the award on the strength of back-to-back victories at The Spring Games. She tallied her first mark in the win column behind a complete-game, one-run, five-hit, one-walk, three-strikeout outing in a 5-1 triumph over Bethany. Less than 24 hours later, Holmes improved to 2-0 on the year with as she allowed just two runs on five hits and one walk and struck out four Gordon batters in 6.0 innings.
The HERO of the Week nod is the second of Holmes' career, who took home the distinction April 5, 2017.
Suffolk and Holmes home and GNAC opener versus Rivier scheduled for Saturday, March 24 has been postponed with a make-up date to be announced. The Rams are set to return to action Sunday, March 25 with a trip to Providence, Rhode Island, for a twinbill at Johnson & Wales on the slate.
