Lainey Lessman Game Report: @ Jersey

While Hillsboro might've come up empty on Thursday, Lainey Lessman wasn't going down without a fight. Jersey had no answer to Lessman as she tossed six innings while giving up just one earned (and six unearned) runs off five hits. Lessman has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances.

Coming up, Lessman and Hillsboro will look to defend their home field on Friday against Southwestern at 4:30 p.m. The Piasa Birds are limping into the matchup having lost three straight on the road.
