Emily McDowell Game Report: vs Wellsville

Heartland Christian was sadly handed a defeat on Thursday, but Emily McDowell did her best to prevent it. McDowell struck out 12 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and 13 unearned) runs off seven hits, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best she's had all season long.

Looking ahead, McDowell and Heartland Christian will host Leetonia at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Despite McDowell's best efforts to the contrary, the Lions will head into their next match having dropped four straight games. Will Friday be the turning point?
