Grace Kessinger Game Report: vs Blackford

Frankton found a leader in Grace Kessinger as the team took down Blackford on Tuesday. Kessinger was dialed in as she struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and only one walk). It looks like she has Blackford's number considering she had a big game the last time she faced them back in May of 2025. Kessinger has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances.

Looking ahead, Kessinger and Frankton are taking a road trip to take on Mississinewa at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The last time Kessinger took on the Indians, she struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and not a single walk).
