EMMA ADAMS | VIRGINIA WESLEYAN
Adams, a senior from Winterville, N.C., earns her first ODAC weekly award of the season after going 3-0 without allowing a run over 14.0 total innings. Adams, the 2024 ODAC Pitcher of the Year, opened her week by working the first three frames of Virginia Wesleyan's 13-0 win over Meredith in five innings in game two of the Marlins' doubleheader sweep of the Avenging Angels. She did not allow a baserunner and fanned four. Adams then went the distance in VWU's 4-0 win over Averett in game two of the Marlins' ODAC sweep of the Cougars on Saturday. She allowed just one hit – a single to lead off the seventh inning – while facing just 23 batters. She struck out eight batters and retired 18 of the first 20 hitters she faced with errors accounting for the two baserunners. Adams closed her week on Sunday with four innings of shutout ball in VWU's 9-1 win over Guilford in five innings in game two of the Marlins sweep of the Quakers. She allowed two hits and struck out four. For the season, Adams is an ODAC second-best 15-0 with a conference-leading 0.20 ERA in 71.0 innings in the circle. She has struck out 62 and walked just three batters. The opposition is hitting just .156 off her.
