SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco State pitcher Mari Takeda Bajan has been named the CCAA Pitcher of the Week for March 4-10.

The junior right-hander helped lead her team to two extra-inning road wins at No. 7 Cal State San Marcos. She went 1-0 with a 0.43 ERA over 16.1 innings of work. Takeda Bajan gave up 16 hits but just one earned run (three unearned).

The San Jose native pitched 11 innings in a complete-game shutout against the defending regional champions. She threw 178 pitches in the 1-0 victory with seven strikeouts. The 11 innings pitched tie for the longest outing in the CCAA this season.

In Friday's contest, she started the game and worked through early trouble to keep her team in the game with five and a third innings of work. The Gators tied the game in the sixth and won it in the bottom of the tenth. 

This is Takeda Bajan's first CCAA Pitcher of the Week award and the first for San Francisco State since the first week of 2023.

The Gators return home to face Cal Poly Humboldt, March 15-16 at SFSU Softball Field. The games will be broadcast on the CCAA Network and live stats will be available at sfstategators.com. Tickets are available at sfstategators.com/tickets.
