After having lost a blowout in their previous game against St. Benedict at Auburndale, Houston was happy to have turned things around on Tuesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the St. George's Gryphons a 2-0 shutout.
Madeleine McClure made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out seven over seven innings pitched. McClure was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one home run.
McClure wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Christina Anderson, who scored a run while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances. That run marked the first that Anderson scored this season.
