BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Texas Southern University softball player Jasmin Fulmore was named the Southwestern Athletic Conference's Pitcher of the Week after her performance during the week of April 16 through 22.
Â
Fulmore pitched a two-hit shutout Friday to lead the Lady Tigers to 1-0 win over Southern in the first of a three-game series. She struck out six batters while walking only three en route to her third shutout of the season.
Â
The senior from Federal Way, Wash., leads all starting pitchers in the SWAC with a 1.67 ERA. Opponents are batting only .210 against Fulmore, which ranks third in the conference, while her 51 strikeouts is the fifth-highest total in the league.

The Lady Tigers travel to Austin on Wednesday for a game at Texas, and then will play a weekend series at Prairie View A&M to conclude the week.
