Halifax Academy was sadly handed a loss on Thursday, but Payton Odom did her best to prevent it. Odom turned in nothing short of a gem, tossing seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
Looking ahead, Odom and Halifax Academy will square off against Lawrence Academy at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Sadly, Odom's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped the Vikings' three-game streak of wins at home. With the streak broken, Odom and the Vikings surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Friday's match.
