Extra Inning Softball National High School Player of the Week

After a dominating week in the circle, Hunter Lewis has been selected as the Extra Inning Softball National High School Player of the Week. Lewis plays for Loyola Academy in Wilmette, Ill.

Lewis turned in a pair of brilliant pitching performances to open the season for Loyola Academy as she tossed a no-hitter in back-to-back starts.

The sophomore struck out a total of 32 batters in 14 innings of pitching and allowed just one walk.

In the season opener against Glenbrook South, Lewis fanned 14 and issued one walk in a 1-0 Loyola Academy victory.

She then followed up with an 18-strikeout performance in a 3-0 win over Evanston.

1-0 No-hitter in my first ever HS game (missed last yr with injury). My catcher @EmiliaBartholo1 called an amazing game & my @_LoyolaSoftball teammates played great D. 7 IP, 0 hits, 1 bb, 14 Ks.
