University of Hawai‘i softball’s Kelly Majam was honored as Western Athletic Conference hitter of the week and baseball’s Josh Slaats was named pitcher of the week, the conference announced today. It was the second honor of the season for both players.

Majam, a freshman outfielder from Pine Valley, Calif., had eight hits with five home runs and one double last week en route to MVP honors at the Chevron Spring Fling Tournament. Against Lipscomb on March 18, Majam went 3-for-3 with two home runs, a double and three RBI. Majam is currently on an eight-game hitting streak, her second longest of the season. She has 15 home runs this season, tied for fourth all-time in UH season.
Slaats, a junior from San Ramon, Calif., struck out a career-high 10 in 5 1/3 innings in a 4-0 victory over Air Force. He allowed three hits and a walk. Slaats is 2-0 with a 0.40 ERA in 22 2/3 innings pitched, striking out 26 with six walks and one earned run for the season.
