Anna grace Whitehead was dynamite on Tuesday, striking out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits (and only one walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her fifth in a row with more than five innings. This season, Whitehead has an ERA of 3.27 over 63.3 innings pitched.
Whitehead's strong effort led Kosciusko over Houston and she'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Whitehead has dominated as far as strikeouts are concerned (she's averaged 6.8 per game this season), but she's got her work cut out for her considering Houston has only allowed 2.67 per game this season.
