Shelby James was a major factor in Ballard's victory over Eastern on Wednesday. James didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over six innings pitched, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best she's had all season long. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 15 consecutive appearances.
Looking ahead, James and Ballard will welcome Mercy at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Bruins have been dominating at home and they will enter the game having won four straight home games. Will James and Co. be able to keep the streak alive? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
