The lefty retired the first 13 batters she faced before a one-out single in the 5th. She then retired the next 11 Maroons, with that lone single stopping her from recording a perfect game. Martin added 1.2 innings of relief in the nightcap, totaling 9.2 innings without an earned run on the day.\u00a0 She is 6-0 with a 1.54 ERA on the season.<\/p>\n<p>This is the second time this spring that an EMU softball player has been named the ODAC Pitcher of the Week, joining\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emuroyals.com\/sports\/sball\/2017-18\/bios\/reath_sydney_rqez\">Sydney Reath<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Williamsburg, Va.\/Mercersburg Academy) from two weeks ago.

First pitch of the twinbill in Bridgewater is at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Hall went the distance in a nine-inning gem to help the Royals defeat Emory &amp; Henry, 4-1. Hall scattered eight hits during his full shift on the hill, giving up one run without a walk. He fanned four batters and at one point retired 17-of-18 batters after allowing the Wasps lone run in the fourth inning. Hall&#8217;s effort was even more impressive coming directly after a game one where EHC had scored 16 runs on 21 hits.<a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2018\/03\/royals-pitchers-earn-odac-honors\/hvdot0pfopoycef8\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-37492\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-37492\" src=\"\/\/emu.edu\/now\/is\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2018\/03\/hvdot0pfopoycef8-300x132.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2018\/03\/hvdot0pfopoycef8-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2018\/03\/hvdot0pfopoycef8.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>His nine-inning complete game is a first for an EMU hurler since current pitching coach Adam Posey did it as a senior in 2014.
