Lauren Peterson Game Report: @ Polk County

Lauren Peterson was a major factor in McMinn Central's victory over Polk County on Thursday. Peterson wasn't messing around, striking out six batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and four unearned) runs off seven hits (and only one walk). The pitching appearance was her fourth straight with one or fewer walks.

Looking ahead, Peterson and McMinn Central will welcome Copper Basin at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The last time these two faced off, Peterson and Co. were forced to settle for a 5-2 loss. Could another big game from her be enough to change the outcome this time? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
