Lowry had no answer to Taylor Hunton on Friday as she struck out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her fifth in a row with more than six strikeouts. For the season, Hunton has been strong no matter where she plays. On the mound, she has an ERA of .41 over 22 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.647/0.786/1.235 with 17 runs, plus 16 stolen bases.
Hunton's strong effort led Elko over Lowry and she'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 2:30 p.m. on Friday. Hunton has dominated as far as hits are concerned (she's averaged 1 per game this season), but she's got her work cut out for her considering Lowry has only allowed 5.8 per game this season.
