No. 3 Softball's 5-0 Start Leads to SAC Weekly Award Sweep

Jones, Shores Earn SAC's First Weekly Awards of 2020

OKLAHOMA CITY - The NAIA No. 3 Oklahoma City University softball team got off to a 5-0 start over the weekend at the NAIA Cowtown Classic, and on Monday, the Stars collected the first two Sooner Athletic Conference Player of the Week awards of the season.

OCU's Kaitlyn Jones claimed the first Player of the Week award of the season, while senior Jaden Shores took the Pitcher of the Week honor. For Jones, the award is her first in a Stars' uniform, while Shores adds her first honor of 2020 to a collection of two other awards - one from the 2017 season and one from 2018.

Jones, a 5-6 freshman outfielder from Edmond, Okla., reached base safely in all five games for OCU at the Cowtown classic. She had hits in four of the five games, and she posted a slash line of .563/.632/.625 (AVG/OBP/SLG) in 19 plate appearances. She scored runs in each of the five games, crossing the plate twice in four of the five, she had four RBIs, and she was a perfect 5-for-5 in stolen base attempts. She was 3-for-3 on Friday evening against Friends (Kan.) University with two runs scored and one RBI in that game.

Shores, a 5-9 senior from Blanchard, Okla., made four appearance in the circle during the Classic, though she only started one game. She threw a total of 14 and two thirds innings of work, and she posted an ERA of 0.00 as she only yielded two unearned runs on six hits. She walked eight and fanned 18 while accruing a 3-0 record with a save. Shores fired a one-hit complete-game shutout against Friends (Kan.) while fanning eight in five innings.

The Stars will return to action on Friday afternoon for a neutral site double-header against the University of Houston-Victoria (Texas) (3-2). The double-dip is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. in Waco, Texas.
