Spring Creek had no answer to Janessa Bettencourt on Saturday as she struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off eight hits (and only one walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her sixth in a row with more than five innings. On the season, Bettencourt has an ERA of 2.16 over 58.3 innings pitched.
Bettencourt's strong effort led Churchill County over Spring Creek and she'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Bettencourt has dominated as far as walks are concerned (she's averaged 1 per game this season), but she's got her work cut out for her considering Spring Creek has only allowed 3.14 per game this season.
