Pembroke Pines Charter came up short on Thursday despite Destiny Ortega delivering her best game to date. Ortega was dynamite, striking out seven batters over 5.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits (and not a single walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't pitched less than five innings in three consecutive pitching appearances.
Ortega and Pembroke Pines Charter will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Doral Academy at 6:30 p.m. on April 2nd. Pembroke Pines Charter will be headed into this one with a pretty big disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 278 places lower in Florida), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Ortega? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other baseball content.
