Portland State Athletics Hall of Fame
Mandy Hill, Softball, 2005-08
A two-way player for the Portland State softball team, Mandy Hill excelled on the mound and at the plate. She was the only four-time All-Pacific Coast Softball Conference selection and she was chosen as PCSC Pitcher or Player of the Week eight times during her career. At the plate, Hill completed her PSU career second all-time in home runs (31) and first in runs batted in (135). She hit a PSU single-season record 12 home runs in 2006 and had a .604 slugging percentage. Hill followed that with 11 home runs in 2007. The Battleground, WA native was perhaps more impressive as a pitcher. Hill tossed a no-hitter as a freshman, then went 24-7 as a sophomore and was named the PCSC Pitcher of the Year while leading the team to their first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament appearance. While a junior, Hill appeared in a record 49 games with 35 starts, 33 complete games and eight shutouts. She struck out 205 batters. Hill completed her pitching career second all-time in wins (67), appearances (147) and innings pitched (815.1). Simply put, Hill was dominant, leading the team in wins, earned run average, innings pitched, strikeouts and shutouts for two seasons, while leading the team in home runs twice and runs batted in three times.
