Adrianna Villalpando posted a new career-high in strikeouts on Tuesday. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out 12 over seven innings pitched. She was dominant the last time she took on Aurora Central back in September of 2023, so they probably should've seen this coming. Villalpando has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive pitching appearances.
Villalpando's strong effort led Thornton over Aurora Central and she'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Thornton is 9-1 against Aurora Central going back to September of 2020, a lead they'll look to extend.
