Alabama softball senior pitcher Montana Fouts is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week for the week of Feb. 21-27, 2022.
This past weekend at the Mardi Gras Mambo in Youngsville, La., Fouts picked up her fifth and sixth wins of the season as well as her second save while striking out 15 batters along the way.
Pitching in relief on Saturday against Northwestern State, Fouts saw 3.1 innings of action in the circle and allowed no hits, no runs and struck out five batters in her fifth win of the season. Later that same day, Fouts once again pitched out of the bullpen, striking out three over the course of 1.2 innings and earning her second save of the year.
On Sunday against No. 20 Louisiana, Fouts pitched a complete-game 5.0 innings in the 8-0 run-rule win for Alabama. In total, allowed just two hits, walked four and struck out seven batters on the day.
