Winning always takes teamwork, but on Tuesday Jovaughna Mendez stepped things up a notch to give Stafford the 'W'. Mendez didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out nine over seven innings pitched, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best she's had all season long.
Looking ahead, Mendez and Stafford will square off against Almeta Crawford at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Mendez has dominated as far as strikeouts are concerned (she's averaged 5.6 per game this season), but she's got her work cut out for her considering the Chargers have only allowed 3.5 per game this season.
