Payton Hovey Game Report: vs Eleva-Strum

Independence/Gilmanton had to settle for second on Tuesday, but Payton Hovey sure wasn't going down easily. Eleva-Strum had no answer to Hovey as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched.

Looking ahead, Hovey and Independence/Gilmanton will square off against Osseo-Fairchild at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The Thunder swept Augusta off the field in their last game, a feat they'll no doubt try to repeat. Will the Indees be able to hold them off?
