March 31, 2008 Contact: Mike Wajerski, SID Gretchen Galasek Named Midwest Conference Pitcher of the Week
Galasek, a freshman pitcher, made her first career start in game two of Saturday’s (March 29) doubleheader at Wheaton. After a walk and an error led to a pair of unearned runs in the first inning, she held the Thunder scoreless and hitless the rest of the way, retiring the final 13 batters she faced. Unfortunately for Galasek and the Foresters, they dropped the game 2-1. It was the 11th no-hitter in team history and the fifth in the last seven seasons. Wheaton entered the game with a .336 batting average and averaged more than 11 base hits per game in its previous nine contests. Midwest Conference Performers of the Week are selected by the league’s sports information director. Midwest Conference Release (pdf)
