Underclassman Kaiya Barela came into Saturday's game looking to prove herself and that's exactly what she did. She wasn't messing around on Saturday, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. The pitching appearance was her 14th straight with five or more strikeouts.

Coming up, Barela and Horizon will square off against Legacy at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Hawks got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Lightning thanks in part to Barela: she struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits. 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.
