Mazon, Rader Earn Pac-12 Weekly Honors
April 29, 2019 | Softball
SAN FRANCISCO – Oregon State's Mariah Mazon and Maia Rader pick up two Pac-12 weekly honors, the conference announced on Monday.
Mazon (Tulare, Calif.) was named the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week after leading the charge from the circle for the Beavers last weekend as Oregon State picked up three wins over Oregon in Eugene. The sophomore majoring in psychology pitched 15.2 innings and struck out eight batters. Mazon started the weekend on Friday pitching five innings and kept the Ducks off the board to throw a complete game and her fourth shutout on the season. Mazon returned to the circle on Saturday to pitch another complete game before returning on Sunday to pitch 3.2 innings and clinch her third win of the weekend.
This season, Mazon has made 28 appearances with 24 games started, 18 of which have been complete games. Mazon leads the Beavers with 153 batters struck out through 160.0 innings of work.
Rader (Orangevale, Calif.) was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week after finishing the weekend going 6-for-8 (.750) with two runs scored, three doubles and four runs batted in. Rader hit a double in all three games in the series sweep of Oregon, and her RBI double in the third game sparked the Beavers to score three runs in the sixth inning to reclaim the lead.
The shortstop is batting a team-best .311 with seven doubles and two triples with 12 RBI. Rader has also stolen six bases and has seven multi-hit games on the season.
This is both Mazon and Rader's first Pac-12 weekly honor of their careers. Mazon was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team and Third-Team All-Pac-12 following last season.
