Fitch found a leader in Hailey Merrill as the squad took down Killingly on Tuesday. Merrill was dialed in as she didn't allow a single earned run over five innings pitched. She played a big game the last time she faced Killingly back in April, so the team probably should've seen her coming. Merrill has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances.
Coming up, Merrill and Fitch will be playing at home against Stonington at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Falcons got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bears thanks in part to Merrill: she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 14 over seven 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.
