On Monday, Heritage had to settle for second even though Lauren Brown put up the best numbers she has all season. Brown struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off two hits. The effort marked the most strikeoutsshe has had since back in August. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in five consecutive pitching appearances.
Brown and Heritage will challenge Rockdale County at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Brown has dominated as far as strikeouts are concerned (she's averaged 5.8 per game this season), but she's got her work cut out for her considering the Bulldogs have only allowed 3.16 per game this season.
