Ella Newman produced her best game of the campaign on Thursday: she struck out 12 batters over six innings while giving up four earned (and one unearned) runs off ten hits (and not a single walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her fourth in a row with two or fewer walks. On the year, she has been strong no matter where she plays. On the mound, she has an ERA of 10.02 over 22.2 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.609/0.643/0.913 with 15 RBI.
Newman's strong effort led Chippewa Hills over White Cloud and she'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Indians are limping into the matchup having lost five straight on the road dating back to last season. There's no doubt they're looking for a change of fortune, but will Newman and the Warriors have enough to stop it? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
