Carly Turner of King and Kinsley Sheppard of UNC Pembroke Chosen as Final Softball Weekly Award Winners of 2022
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Carly Turner of King and Kinsley Sheppard of UNC Pembroke have been chosen as the final 2022 weekly award winners for Conference Carolinas softball for the week ending April 24.
Turner was tabbed as the Player of the Week for the second time this season, while Sheppard collected Pitcher of the Week honors.
A senior pitcher/first base from Springfield, Ohio, Turner helped pace the Tornado offense in a 6-0 week that saw King clinch a share of the Conference Carolinas regular season title. In six games she hit. .450 (9-for-20) which included two home runs, one double and one triple. She drove in six and scored a team-high eight run. She was also impressive in the circle as she went 3-0 with a 2.77 ERA, tossing a team-high 17.2 innings which included one complete game, a 10-strikeout performance against Erskine. Her best offensive game came in a win over Southern Wesleyan on April 20 when she went 3-for-3 with three runs scored and a home run. In all, she had four multi-hit games, slugged .900 with a .476 on-base percentage and struck out 19 batters in her three outings.
Sheppard, a freshman right-handed pitcher from Lauringburg, North Carolina, went 3-0 in the circle this week as she threw 21 innings with an era of 1.00. She allowed three runs on 11 hits with 24 strikeouts and a .151 opponent batting average. She started the week with a career-high 12 strikeouts against Barton and finished the week with her second career shutout, a complete-game win over Converse which moved her record to 13-5 this season.
