Taniyah Brown Tabbed as AAC Weekly Honorable Mention
Feb 10, 2025 | Softball
IRVING, Texas – Sophomore pitcher Taniyah Brown was named as an honorable mention in the American's Athletic Conference's weekly awards after strong performances in the circle and at the plate in the 901 Classic, per a league release Monday afternoon.
The Montgomery, Ala. native made three appearances in the circle over the weekend, pitching two complete games and earning two wins on the young season. At the plate, she finished with a .563 batting average and three extra-base hits through five games.
Brown pitched the Tigers to two wins during the 901 Classic. The first was against Lindenwood on Friday night, where the sophomore recorded two strikeouts over seven innings while limiting the Lion offense to just three hits. Her second victory was against Hampton on Saturday, where she again went the distance. This time, Brown limited Hampton batters to just two hits and one earned run over the course of the game.
Brown was also a force at the plate, as she recorded at least one RBI in each of the first five games of the season. In the third game of the 901 Classic for Memphis, Brown helped earn herself a win in the circle by hitting a walk-off single to give the Tigers their third victory of the season. In her second matchup against Hampton, Brown sent a shot over the wall in left center to plate three runs for the Tigers, providing a spark for a Memphis offense before a weather delay. After the delay, the Tigers went on to win by mercy rule by a score of 18-9.
UP NEXT
The Tigers travel to Natchitoches, La. where they will play four games, two against Northwestern State and two against Jacksonville State, in the Northwestern State Classic.
