Katarina Baca Game Report: @ Chaparral

Katarina Baca put up the most strikeouts she's had since back in April of 2024 on Thursday. She struck out three batters over 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk), good enough for us to rate the performance as the best she's had all season long. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

Coming up, Baca and Deming will look to defend their home field on Friday against Silver at 5:00 p.m. The Wildcats will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 51 places lower in New Mexico), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Baca? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
