Texas A&M - Kingsville Athletics

It is the fourth time Castillo has garnered the accolade during the spring season for Javelina softball as she threw a five-inning clean sheet in game one against Eastern New Mexico after striking out the first eight batters of the game and allowing only one ball to be hit out of the infield for an 8-0 victory.

She followed that up with five more outstanding innings to cap the sweep over the Greyhounds as she struck out nine in a 9-1 triumph, putting her weekly ERA at 0.70 in 10 innings coupled with 18 strikeouts. The Santa Gertrudis Academy prospect currently leads the Lone Star Conference with 132 strikeout as she ran her season record to 16-2 for the sixth-ranked Blue and Gold.

For her efforts, Castillo was honored by the LSC with her third Pitcher of the Week award, matching A&M-Commerce’s Emily Otto for most on the year.
