Two of the best in the state earn weekly honors
LOS ANGELES, Calif – A set of sophomores – Vivian Medinilla of Chaffey College and Nohemi Livingston of the College of San Mateo – dominated the diamond this week, earning California Community College Fastpitch Coaches Association Player and Pitcher of the Week.
Medinilla, a third baseman, mashed an .889 batting average with four extra base hits while driving in four runs over three games this past week. She went 4-for-5 across a two-game stretch against No. 17 Saddleback, then exploded for a 4-for-4, one-homer, two-extra base hit performance in a 14-5 win over Grace University.
She’s hitting at a staggering .537 clip across 12 games this season. That mark is the second-highest in the state of hitters with 40 or more at bats.
Livingston tossed 19 shut-out innings, allowing only four hits and six total base runners. Two of the victories came over ranked opponents, No. 12 San Joaquin Delta 6-0 on February 20 and a 10-0 win over No. 6 Fresno City on February 22. She added 17 strikeouts – nine in her 3-0 shutout win over Modesto February 18.
Livingston has allowed just two runs and boasts a 0.39 ERA across 39 innings pitched. Of pitchers with at least that many innings, Livingston’s ERA is at the top of the pack.
