SAC Varsity Gems Softball Player And Pitcher Of The Week - March 14
Carson-Newman’s Macauley Bailey is the SAC Player of the Week, and Lenoir-Rhyne’s Morgan Beeler is the Pitcher of the Week for Week 6 of the 2023 season.

Carson-Newman’s Macauley Bailey was selected as the South Atlantic Conference Varsity Gems Softball Player of the Week, while Lenoir-Rhyne’s Morgan Beeler was named the SAC Varsity Gems Softball Pitcher of the Week for games played during Week 6 of the 2023 season, the conference office announced Tuesday.
Bailey, a freshman catcher from Cross Plains, Tennessee, is on a career-best eight-game hitting streak. She drove in the game-winning run to complete a six-run come-from-behind effort, the largest comeback in school history, and defeat Catawba 10-9 in Game 2.
Bailey has a nation-leading five sacrifice flies and 38 RBIs on the season.
Beeler, a senior pitcher from Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, started her week with a key regional win over Francis Marion on Wednesday and got the save at No. 24 Anderson on Saturday, throwing a scoreless seventh inning.
In the nightcap, Beeler dominated in the circle. She threw a two-hit complete game shutout to complete the sweep in a 6-0 victory.
Beeler averaged one strikeout per inning this week and moves to 10-2 with a 1.74 ERA.
