Layla Brown Game Report: vs Arizona Lutheran Academy

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Layla Brown stepped things up a notch to give Santa Cruz Valley the 'W'. Brown made a splash, not allowing a single earned run over five innings pitched. She was dominant the last time she took on Arizona Lutheran Academy last Monday, so they probably should've seen this coming. Brown has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 17 consecutive appearances.

Looking ahead, Brown and Santa Cruz Valley are taking a road trip to face off against Horizon Honors at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Dust Devils will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 51 places lower in Arizona), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Brown? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
