PITTSFORD, N.Y. – Kristina Balsano of the softball team has been named the St. John Fisher College Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending April 2nd, 2017.
Balsano had six hits on the week, helping the Cardinals post a 5-1 record and earn three crucial Empire 8 wins.
Of her six hits, three of which were bombed over the fence, including a grand slam in the week’s final game against Stevens. The senior finished the six-game stint with eight RBI, while crossing the plate four times herself. Perhaps her best day was a 3-for-4 performance in the first win over Elmira on Saturday.
In the conference, Balsano currently ranks second in total homeruns (4) and fourth in slugging percentage (.860).
Softball returns to action at 3:30 p.m. on Monday as the team squares off against RIT at the Fisher Softball Complex.
