Ava Hovda Game Report: vs Franklin Heights

While Ava Hovda delivered a dominant performance on Saturday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Delaware Christian. Hovda struck out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and seven unearned) runs off nine hits (and not a single walk). The effort also marked the fewest walks (zero) she has had since back in April of 2024.

Hovda and Delaware Christian will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against Tree of Life Christian at 5:30 p.m. Sadly, Hovda's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped the Eagles' five-game streak of wins at home. With the streak broken, Hovda and the Eagles surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Tuesday's match.
