In her first start of the week against Maysville, Huitt allowed an earned run on three hits and fanned 12 in a complete-game victory. She also chipped in at the plate with three hits, a double and RBI. For the week, she struck out 30, did not issue a free pass and held her opposition to an .021 batting average.
