On Tuesday Sophia Escobar made a splash, striking out 14 batters over seven innings while giving up four earned (and four unearned) runs off five hits. It looks like she has Oasis's number considering she had a big game the last time she faced them, too. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her fifth in a row with more than five innings. For the season, Escobar has been strong no matter where she plays. On the mound, she has an ERA of 5.13 over 59.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.441/0.537/0.912 with 15 runs, plus 10 stolen bases.
Escobar and Neumann will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Golden Gate at 5:30 p.m. on April 9th. Neumann got just the result they wanted when they last faced Golden Gate, probably because Escobar had a solid game then too: she didn't allow a single earned run and only two hits while striking out 13 over five innings pitched. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
