Athletes are considered for the top performer poll only if their stats are entered on the MN Softball Hub by 10 a.m. on Sundays. If any coaches or members of their coaching staff would like to be set up to enter stats, please email mnhubs@sportngin.com.
McKayla Armbruster, Faribault: Armbruster has had her share of head-turning performances but turned in perhaps her best in a 2-1 win over Mankato East on April 28. She allowed two hits and one unearned run in eight innings — striking out 18 batters without issuing a walk in the process.
Emily Hansen, Buffalo: Hansen powered the Bison to a 15-3 win over Cambridge-Isanti on April 24, as she batted 4-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI. She also scored four runs and struck out a batter in one inning pitched.
Camryn Schwab, Thief River Falls: Schwab has been a run-producing machine for the Prowlers early in the season. The sophomore outfielder went 3-for-5 with six RBI and two runs scored in a 16-10 win over Detroit Lakes on April 26. She followed up a day later with a 3-for-4 effort that included two home runs.
Mary Pardo, Blaine: Pardo turned in a dominant offensive performance in the Bengals’ win over Park Center on April 26. The senior went 4-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI. She also stole two bases and scored four runs.
Annika Anderson, Winona: Anderson had a busy week, as she pitched in three of the Winhawks’ four games, including a six-inning, eight-strikeout performance against Mankato East on April 26. Two days later, she struck out 17 in a 9-5 win over Osseo.
