Liz Hamilton is the ace driving CCSU’s rise in 2026
In the 2026 season, Central Connecticut junior pitcher Liz Hamilton has been the Blue Devils’ workhorse and a clear NEC difference-maker, going 16-7 with 148.1 innings, 53 strikeouts, and a 3.78 ERA while leading the team in the circle.[1][6][11] She’s shown durability, poise in big spots, and enough command to stack complete games and shutouts, and opponents have repeatedly treated her as the game plan problem, not just the pitcher on the card.[6][14][15]
