Alyssa Budzinski spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on five hits and racked up 16 Ks. Those 16 strikeouts set a new season-high mark for her.
On the hitting side, Olivia Sackel was excellent, going 1-for-2 with two RBI and one run.
Williamsville South is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. Having lost for the first time this season, Sutherland fell to 2-1.
As of now, neither Williamsville South nor the Knights have any future games scheduled.
