Maylah Cruz turned in her biggest game of the season on Thursday, striking out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off one hit. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her third in a row with five or more strikeouts. This year, she has an ERA of 4.94 over 28.1 innings pitched.

Looking ahead, Cruz and Palisades will head out to challenge Westchester at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The last time Cruz duked it out with the Comets (back in April), the Dolphins came out on top by a score of 16-15. Will another strong game from Cruz be enough to do it again?
