Big game from Rainford as North Newton won 3-2

Sydney Rainford turned in nothing short of a gem on Tuesday: she struck out 14 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits (and only one walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her fourth in a row with less than one walks allowed. On the year, Rainford has been strong no matter where she plays. On the mound, she has an ERA of .32 over 64.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.574/0.625/0.979 with 24 runs, plus 14 stolen bases.

Rainford and North Newton will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Lafayette Jefferson at 5:00 p.m. Rainford has dominated as far as hits are concerned (she's averaged 1.7 per game this season), but she's got her work cut out for her considering Lafayette Jefferson has only allowed 6.3 per game this season.
