MU’s Thomas is the Big 12 pitcher of the week again

For the third time in four weeks and fifth time this season, Missouri softball pitcher Chelsea Thomas has been named the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week. Thomas went 2-0 this week and is 23-4 on the season with the best earned run average in the country at 0.72. She has 283 strikeouts and just 34 walks. She’s only four strikeouts away from breaking Mizzou’s single season record of 286, set by Erin Kalka in 2004 which she should break when Mizzou hosts Western Illinois in a double header.
