• Myka Sutherlin made four appearances in the circle during the initial weekend of the 2023 season, starting twice, and fired 15.0 innings with 19 strikeouts to earn a fourth Big West Softball Pitcher of the Week recognition.
• The senior and second-year Pacific transfer had an ERA of 0.93 as reigning Big West champion and preseason favorite Cal State Fullerton went 3-2 for openers. The Titans lost 3-0 at No. 2 UCLA in their first action on Thursday night, with Sutherlin registering the final four outs.
• Sutherlin’s weekend featured a complete-game shutout (2-0) with a career-high 14 strikeouts against Utah State on Friday at the Bruins’ Easton Stadium to give the Titans their first victory of 2023. The right-hander out of Gilbert, Ariz., scattered just a pair of late hits without issuing a walk, facing two over the minimum. An infield single broke up the no-hit bid to lead off the sixth.
• Sutherlin’s prior Big West Pitcher of the Week awards all came last season, on Feb. 28 and then back-to-back on March 21 and March 28.
