While Monday's win was certainly a team effort, someone pulling more than their own weight was underclassman Ryann Giddens. She wasn't messing around on Monday, striking out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). The pitching appearance was her fourth straight with one or fewer earned runs.
Looking ahead, Giddens and Arcadia will host Salisbury Christian at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Firebirds got just the result they wanted when they last faced Salisbury Christian thanks in part to Giddens: she kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 12 over 4.2 innings pitched. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
