Kayden Apodaca posted a new career-high in strikeouts on Saturday. She struck out 13 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off seven hits (and only one walk). She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances.

Looking ahead, Apodaca and Artesia will take on Lovington at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday. The Bulldogs got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Wildcats thanks in part to Apodaca: she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over 5.2 innings pitched. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
