*KJCCC Pitcher of the Week (April 15-21, 2013)

 Freshman (2013): Craker was right in the thick of the Seward County pitching rotation during her freshman year in 2013.  She saw time in 26 games, finishing the year with an 8-9 reocrd including a save.  She spun 90 2/3 innings which was second most on the team and notched a 4.40 ERA.  She led the Lady Saints with 74 strikeouts.  She wasted no time in getting her feet wet at the collegiate level, earning a win in Sewards first game of the year against Murray State, coming out of the bullpen to throw an inning of scoreless relief before the Lady Saints picked up a 7-6 walkoff win in the bottom of the 7th inning against the Aggies.  She won three straight conference starts in a one week stretch in April, pitching a complete game shutout against rival Garden City followed by another blanking against Barton, and finally a 5 1/3 inning performance against Colby to earn a victory.  She struck out a career high 8 in a win against Trinidad State and fanned 7 twice in games against Pratt and North Central Texas.  She was a workhorse for Seward in the playoffs, throwing in three straight games in the Region VI Tournament in the same day against #1 Butler twice and against Barton in the other contest.  Her finest game of the season came when the Lady Saints needed her the most in the Region VI Championship Game as she went all 7 innings against the top ranked Grizzlies, allowing just 4 hits and 1 run in a near upset bid for Seward.

High School: One of eight players from California on the 2013 Lady Saints roster, Craker came to Seward County from San Marcos, California where she played for Coach kevin Glatt and Mission Hills High School as a prep.  She was a 1st Team All-League and 2nd Team All-County selection, pitching 137 innings and recording a 2.44 ERA with 91 strikeouts as a senior.  Pitching runs in Craker's blood as her grandfather John was a four year letterwinner on the mound for the Golden Bears at the University of California from 1961-1964.  She has one sister, Kortney (17).
