Payton Ackman posted a new career-low in hits on Thursday. She made a splash, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out seven over five innings pitched. She was up against Hoffman Estates and has quite the history against that squad, as she also had a great game the last time she faced them back in April. Ackman has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
Coming up, Ackman and Conant will be playing in front of their home fans against Barrington at 4:45 p.m. on Monday. Ackman had to take a loss the last time the two teams duked it out, losing their contest back in April 10-0. Could another big game from her be enough to change the outcome this time?
