Maddie Lucas made a splash, striking out nine batters over seven innings while giving up four earned runs off eight hits. She was dominant the last time she took on Claymont on Wednesday, so they probably should've seen this coming. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her 11th in a row with two or fewer walks. This year, Lucas has been strong no matter where she plays. On the mound, she has an ERA of 2.56 over 131.1 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.368/0.361/0.774 with 41 RBI and 10 home runs.
Coming up, Lucas and Martins Ferry will challenge West Muskingum at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Tornadoes will enter the matchup having just beaten Sandy Valley, so the Purple Riders will have to guard against a team looking to keep the ball rolling.
