Former Idaho State star pitcher Tammy Sorenson will be honored prior to the start of Saturday's doubleheader. Sorenson, who held the all-time win record until last weekend, will present
Kandis Clesson with the game ball for breaking the win record last week against Weber State. Sorenson played softball at ISU from 1979-82 and was inducted into the Idaho State Athletic Hall of Fame in 1990. She ranks one or two in seven different career pitching records while posting an era of under one in three of her four years.

Seattle is 9-29 and 5-7 in Pacific Coast Softball Conference play. Hannah Klein leads the team at the plate with a .327 batting average while Jessica Ulrich has pitched the most innings with 107.
Despite the 3-0 loss to Utah State on April 20,
Amanda Fitzsimmons set the single-game Idaho State school record for strikeouts in a game with 10. In the the last four years several Bengal pitchers have recorded nine strikeouts, most recently Nora Maschue with nine in 2010.
