Jefferson fought the good fight in their extra-innings contest against O'Gorman on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 4-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Knights. The game marked the Cavaliers' lowest-scoring matchup so far this season.
Whitney Portner spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on four hits and racked up 12 Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Jefferson saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Macy Bryant, who went 1-for-3 with one triple and one run. That triple was Bryant's first of the season.
This is the second loss in a row for Jefferson and nudges their season record down to 3-2. As for O'Gorman, their win (their first of the season) made their record 1-2.
Looking ahead, Jefferson will take on Yankton at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Cavaliers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Bucks/Gazelles have averaged an impressive 6.5 runs per game this season. As for O'Gorman, they will host Tea at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
