Two-time Daily Breeze Player of the Year Taylor Petty has continued to thrive in her freshman season at Long Beach State.

Petty, the former San Pedro star, earned Big West Conference Player of the Week honors for the first time in her career.

Petty helped Long Beach State sweep Pacific. She threw an eight-inning complete-game in a 2-1 victory over Pacific, allowing three hits and one run while tying her career high with 11 strikeouts.

Petty then earned the start in the finale and responded with her 15th complete game of the year. Petty again gave up just one run while scattering five hits and registering seven strikeouts.

For the series, Petty posted a 0.93 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 15.0 innings of work. She held the Tigers to eight hits, two runs and a .160 batting average.

Dave Thorpe was a self-proclaimed, slightly above average baseball player back in the day at Torrance's West High, who went on and had an unspectacular, injury-riddled stint as a third baseman at El Camino College. Trading bat for pen, Thorpe wrote sports for the Long Beach Union newspaper at Long Beach State University, then worked as the sports editor for the Palos Verdes Peninsula News for seven years before climbing down the Hill to the Daily Breeze, where he has been a sports writer covering local sports for more than two years.
