Winning always takes teamwork, but on Tuesday Natalie Simpson stepped things up a notch to give Bucksport the 'W'. Simpson wasn't messing around, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out ten over four innings pitched. The pitching appearance was her 11th straight with one or fewer earned runs.
Coming up, Simpson and Bucksport will face off against Orono at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Golden Bucks got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Riots thanks in part to Simpson: she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 14 over seven innings pitched. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
