PITTSBURGH – Softball junior infielder Sarah Seamans was named Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week today for her performance in Pitt's sweep of North Carolina this past weekend.
The New Castle, Pa., native had a powerful weekend at the plate against the Tar Heels, batting .571 (8-for-14) with eight hits, three home runs, eight RBI, two walks and registered a 1.214 slugging percentage and .625 on-base percentage. The first baseman also had 33 putouts and zero errors, recording a 1.000 fielding percentage.
Seamans is in the top-20 in multiple offensive categories in the conference, as she's tied for sixth in RBI (30), tied for third in home runs (10), 14th in total bases (67) and tied for 20th in slugging percentage (.620). Her 231 putouts also rank fourth in the league.
Seamans is the second Panther this season to be honored by the ACC, as senior Morgan Batesole was named ACC Co-Offensive Player of the Week Mar. 2.
Pitt swept North Carolina in four games, the first sweep over an ACC opponent since defeating Boston College in three games May 3-5, 2019. Pitt next travels to Boston College to face the Eagles in four games beginning Friday, Apr. 23. Game one is set for 4 p.m. on the ACCNX.
