For the third straight week, the Dodge City softball team has earned the KJCCC Division I Pitcher of the Week honors as Karli George picked up the honors for the third time this season. 

George and the Conquistadors put together a 5-1 week last week on the diamond with two wins over Lamar and Seward County each, and a split on the road against Barton. 

In the doubleheader against Seward County, George was a big piece of the Conqs' success in the 9-5 and 7-4 victories as she picked up two wins in relief inside the circle. She came in game one and threw 3.2 innings of scoreless softball, giving up just one walk and two hits while striking out six. George in game two, finished out the contest, throwing the final two innings without giving up a run, and gave up just one hit and one walk, while striking out four. Over the week, in four outings on the mound, she threw 13 innings, giving up just four runs and striking out 17. 

On the season, George has thrown 76 innings with a 2.95 ERA with a 12-2 record in 21 appearances with 14 starts. She has 74 strikeouts on the season, which leads the KJCCC and ranks second in the conference in wins. Additionally, she leads the KJCCC in opponent batting average (.199) and ERA. 

Offensively on the season, George has made an impact also for the Conqs as she is hitting .426 with 29 hits, 28 RBI, 18 runs scored, 14 walks, nine doubles, and six home runs. 

The Conqs sit at 28-12 on the season and 10-4 in KJCCC action, already having surpassed last season's win total with 18 more regular-season games to go. The Conqs will now rest a bit until they return to the diamond on Wednesday, April 8th, against Garden City on the road.
