While Independence might've come up empty on Wednesday, Allison Gutierrez wasn't going down without a fight. Gutierrez wasn't messing around, pitching six innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off eight hits. The pitching appearance was her third straight with two or fewer walks.
Even though Gutierrez couldn't lead Independence over Highland, she won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Falcons will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 426 places lower in California), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Gutierrez? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
