Accomplishment: Bryanna Bigica, a pitcher, went 3-0, all shutouts, during the week, helping Lodi capture the NJIC Colonial title, the program’s first league title in 14 years. She pitched nine innings in the league-clinching 4-0 win over Glen Rock. The next day, Bigica tossed a two-hitter and had an RBI double in the 2-0 win over Morris Tech in the first round of the North 2, Group 2 tournament. In all, she pitched 23 innings, allowing 13 hits and three walks and striking out 19, and went 6-for-16 with three doubles and three RBI for the week.

“Her performance this week was simply awesome. Pitching nine shutout innings in a game with the league title at stake was just phenomenal. She has improved her game dramatically all year. She is so tough and so determined. She doesn’t back down and doesn’t give in to anybody. She has been pitching lights-out lately.”
