Courtney Ranked No. 12 in May Pitcher Power Rankings

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Autumn Courtney of the No. 24 Florida Atlantic softball team has been ranked No. 12 by Softball America in the Pitcher Power Rankings for the upcoming month of May.

 

The junior pitcher has been responsible for more than half of the Owls’ (41-9, 20-4) wins currently holding a 21-2 record with an additional save to her resume. Her 21 victories on the season are tied for third nationwide. 

 

In her first year at FAU, Courtney has been the top pitcher in the American Athletic Conference, leading the league in strikeouts (147, 35 more than second place) and has allowed the lowest batting average at .159, while her ERA of 1.90 is tied for second. She has won a league-leading four AAC Pitcher of the Week awards and has earned a spot on two weekly conference honorable mention lists.

 

Courtney and the Owls are in striking distance of back-to-back American Athletic Conference regular season championships, needing just one win to clinch. Their final regular season series will see them take on Tulsa from Friday, May 2 to Saturday, May 4 before the AAC Tournament from Wednesday, May 7 to Saturday, May 10.
