San Francisco State’s Mari Takeda Bajan earned two wins in the circle to pick up this week’s FloCollege/CCAA Softball Pitcher of the Week award, for the week of March 10-16.

Takeda Bajan led the No. 21 ranked Gators to a 3-1 series win at Cal State Monterey Bay over the weekend as San Francisco State improved to 10-4 in CCAA play (21-7 overall). The senior right-hander allowed just one earned run in 14 innings of work, earning two complete game victories. She yielded seven hits with eight strikeouts in her two starts and escaped many jams after allowing eight walks. The standout from San Jose improved her personal record to 9-2.

In her outing on Friday, she settled in after giving up three unearned runs in the second inning. Takeda Bajan retired seven of the next eight batters to give her offense the chance to really. The Gators eventually scored eight runs in the final three innings for the come-from-behind win. In Saturday’s game, Takeda Bajan was solid in her start. She gave up just three singles in a 2-0 shutout win and got the help of the defense as the Gators turned two double plays. 

Takeda Bajan is second in the conference with nine wins. She ranks fifth in innings (74) and ninth in ERA (1.99) and opposing batting average (.235) Click here to see the CCAA stats leaderboard
