Kelcie Kippes, sophomore pitcher from Rossville, KS, picked up her first KJCCC 'Pitcher of the Week' honor this season after picking up a win and closing out another game last week. Kippes had a good week pitching for the No. 3-ranked Grizzlies in her two appearances last week. She picked up the win on the road at Pratt pitching 3.0 innings in Butler's 18-2 5-inning run rule win. She gave up no hits, no walks and struck out three. Kippes pitched two innings on Thursday in the Grizzlies 15-1 win over Independence. She gave up two hits, one run and struck out another three batters.
