Hinnant becomes the first Red Hawk softball player to earn a weekly honor from the NJCAA.
“I am really proud and honored to be named Pitcher of the Week,” Hinnant said. “I definitely could not have done it without our defense and team playing behind me.”
A Kings Fork, Va. native, Hinnant has been dominant on the mound so far this season for CVCC, striking out 34 batters in 20 innings.
The right-hander recorded a one-hit, 12-strikeout performance in her first-ever start on Jan. 29 against Surry Community College, and she followed that up with a two-hit, 12-strikeout outing on Feb. 9 at Fayetteville Tech.
