Melissa Purcella put up the most strikeouts she's had since back in April of 2024 on Friday. As a matter of fact, she produced her best game of the campaign: she struck out 18 batters over 6.1 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

Looking ahead, Purcella and Albuquerque Academy will take on Rio Grande at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Ravens are limping into the matchup having lost four straight at home. There's no doubt they're looking for a change of fortune, but will Purcella and the Chargers have enough to stop it?
