NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- Shea Morris and Lindsey Burgess were honored once again for their performances last week. Morris was named the Tennessee Sports Writers Association Pitcher of the Week. Burgess was selected as the College Sports Madness Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week.

This is the first time Morris has been honored by the TSWA. For Burgess, she becomes the first Tiger to be honored by CSM.

Morris picked up three victories and three saves in six appearances for the Tigers, tossing 19.2 innings without allowing an earned run. She struck out 29 and walked only four, giving up just seven total hits in the six appearances.

Morris registered a 0.00 ERA and held opponents to a .099 batting average.

Burgess went 10-for-22 on the week, batting .455, with four doubles, a home run and scored seven runs, while driving in seven in seven games. The sophomore reached safely in six games and recorded four multiple hit games. Burgess notched two sacrifice flies for a pair of RBI in the lone game she did not collect a hit.
