Ava Mitchell Game Report: vs Knoxville Catholic

Ava Mitchell produced her best game of the campaign on Thursday: she struck out seven batters over eight innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off seven hits (and not a single walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her fifth in a row with two or fewer walks. This season, she has been strong no matter where she plays. On the mound, she has an ERA of 3.05 over 18.1 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.481/0.533/0.593 with 9 runs.

Looking ahead, Mitchell and First Baptist Academy will take on Providence Academy at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. The Eagles got just the result they wanted when they last faced Providence Academy thanks in part to Mitchell: she went 2-for-3 with four runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Can she match (or beat) that performance? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
