While Monday's victory was certainly a team effort, someone pulling more than their own weight was underclassman Emily Mathys. She wasn't messing around on Monday, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out 11 over five innings pitched. The pitching appearance was her fourth straight with two or fewer walks.
Looking ahead, Mathys and Kingman Academy are taking a road trip to face off against Mountainside at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Tigers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Wolves thanks in part to Mathys: she kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out nine over four innings pitched. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
