Brianna Ramirez Game Report: @ USC-MAE

Orthopaedic found a leader in Brianna Ramirez as the squad took down USC-MAE on Monday. The Trojans had no answer to Ramirez as she didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. Ramirez has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

Looking ahead, Ramirez and Orthopaedic will be playing in front of their home fans against Annenberg at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Vipers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Panthers thanks in part to Ramirez: she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 13 over five innings pitched. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
