Hawai'i Hilo Vulcans Athletics

Junior pitcher Billi Derleth stepped big for the Vulcans this week when they needed it most. During a six-day period where they played eight games, UH Hilo needed quality innings and they got them from the Huntington Beach native. She pitched in three games, a total of 20.2 innings and gave up only four earned runs. She walked just one batter during that span, scattered 21 hits and fanned six. In the final bout of a wild series with Azusa Pacific, she pitched a complete game as the Vulcans claimed a 11-2 win. On the season, she is 2-1 with a 1.85 ERA.
