FRISCO, Texas – Texas A&M-Corpus Christi senior first baseman Larissa Martin and Texas State freshman pitcher Chandler Hall were named the Southland Conference Hitter and Pitcher of the week respectively by vote of the league’s sports information directors. Following is a look at their award winning performances.

Martin led the Islanders to a 5-1 record on the week as TAMUCC hosted Houston Baptist during the week and hosted the Corpus Christi Invitational over the weekend. Martin hit .429 on the week with a triple and seven RBI. Martin walked twice, got hit by a pitch twice, and added three sacrifice hits while not striking out at all during the week. She led the Islanders in RBIs and batting average for the week. Martin had a two-RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning against Indiana State to tie the game and send it to extra innings, where the Islanders eventually won 6-7 in eight innings.

Hall went a perfect 3-0 on the week to lead Texas State to a 3-1 week-record over two Big 12 teams and No. 14 C-USA squad Houston. She led the Bobcats comeback win against Texas as they came from three down to beat the Longhorns, 9-6, on the road and earning her first collegiate victory. In the, 5-1, win over Oklahoma State, Hall pitched five innings committing only one error and serving up five strikeouts.
