Natalie Simpson posted a new career-high in strikeouts on Thursday. She struck out 17 batters over seven innings while giving up no earned runs off four hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season.

Looking ahead, Simpson and Bucksport will welcome Searsport at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. The Golden Bucks got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Vikings thanks in part to Simpson: she pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
