This sensational announcement was made on April 21, 2025, and it comes after an exhilarating week where Phillips proved to be unstoppable on the mound for the University of South Carolina Aiken (USCA) Pacers.

A Week to Remember

This past week, Phillips played a pivotal role in leading her team to an impressive 6-1 record. Not only did she contribute significantly, but she also managed to sweep the week with a perfect 4-0 record. Yes, you read that right, four wins! But wait, there’s more—she even collected a save along the way, further solidifying her mark in the PBC.

Unbelievable Stats!

Throughout the week, Phillips took the mound for four games and delivered three complete-game performances, showcasing her exceptional talent and endurance. Over a total of 24.2 innings, she dazzled the crowd while allowing just two earned runs. Her performance wasn’t just good; it was stellar! With an astonishing ERA of 0.57, Phillips struck out an impressive 31 batters while allowing only six walks. Opposing hitters had a hard time finding their rhythm against her, posting a collective batting average of just .207 against her pitching prowess.

Supporting Cast

But Phillips wasn’t the only star this week! In a remarkable twist, her teammate Shi Cain also garnered recognition as the Peach Belt Conference Softball Player of the Week. Cain batted an incredible .714 over three games, racking up five hits in seven at-bats, which included two home runs and three RBIs. That’s right—a dynamic duo that had fans on the edge of their seats!

Rare Honors for the Pacers

This is particularly noteworthy as it marks only the third occasion in USCA’s history that two players received weekly honors during the same week. The previous occurrences were on April 6, 2009, and February 24, 2015. This significant achievement only amplifies the excitement surrounding the Pacers and highlights the team’s undeniable talent.

The Bigger Picture

As the Pacers continue to strive for greatness, they now hold an overall record of 12-18 and are maintaining a respectable 6-6 in PBC play. The upcoming schedule promises more action as they are set to host Benedict for a nonconference doubleheader on Wednesday at 1 p.m. Fans are encouraged to come out and support their team, as the atmosphere is sure to be electric!
