It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but University Prep ultimately got the result they hoped for on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 victory over the Lassen Grizzlies. Winning may never get old, but the Panthers sure are getting used to it with their fourth in a row.
Hailey Pebley spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on six hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 24 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Riley Villano was excellent, going 1-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played.
