Independence dropped to 9-9 on Thursday, ending the team's three-game streak of wins at home. They wound up with the same score they had in their last game (10-0), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time. Having soared to a lofty ten runs in the game before, their shutout was a dramatic turnaround.
As for Christopher, they are on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games.
For Christopher's part, Katelyn Vega tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over five innings pitched. Vega has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
