Athlete of the Week: Tiffany Whitton `03

In Saturday's games against Yale and Penn, Whitton was the rally starter again. She lead off the Penn game with a double to left center and scored the game's first run. In the Yale game, her two-out double in the third fired-up a stagnant Harvard offense and sparked a four-run Crimson rally. Whitton earned the win in the Yale game, pitching four innings of relief without giving up a run.

For the weekend, Whitton hit 6-of-13 and scored seven runs. She pitched 11 innings, gave up just four hits and two earned runs. She struck out 12 and walked six.
