Rising Sun's Montgomery Smashes Record, Earns ORVC Weekly Honors

Perfect games, no-hitters and record-breaking performances weren't rare occurrences last week.

(Rising Sun, Ind.) – Student-athletes in the Ohio River Valley Conference put up video game-like numbers this past week.

The ORVC report for April 16-21 was released on Tuesday.

Rising Sun’s Lindsay Montgomery is the ORVC Softball Player of the Week. Montgomery swung a hot bat last week, tallying 11 hits, 11 runs, 17 RBIs, and 5 HRs in 4 games. The Lady Shiners star’s five homers broke a single season record just nine games into the season.

Her teammate Sydney Pitts also put up some ridiculous number last week. Pitts pitched a perfect game against Shawe Memorial on her way to a 4-0 record last week. During those starts, Pitts allowed just one hit, while striking out 31 batters in 18 innings of work.

The ORVC Co-Baseball Players of the Week are Rising Sun’s Braydon Bush and Switzerland County’s Kyle Whitham. Both pitched no-hitters last week.  

The ORVC Goys Golfer of the Week is Southwestern’s Hunter Mefford. The Rebels star shot 37 at North Branch, 44 at Sunrise and 79 at Wooded View.

Milan’s Peyton Cavins is the ORVC Boys Track & Field Performer of the Week. On the girl’s side, South Ripley’s Megan Cole and Southwestern’s Taylor Cole shared the weekly honor.
