Sophia Cardinale

Batters Struck Out

Sophia Cardinale didn't allow a single earned run while striking out 11 over 11.2 innings pitched, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best she's had all season long. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her third in a row with five or more strikeouts. For the year, she has an ERA of 2.56 over 71 innings pitched.

Looking ahead, Cardinale and Palma will take on North Salinas at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Chieftains got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Vikings thanks in part to Cardinale: she struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off six hits (and only one walk). Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
