While it always takes a team to win, one person punching above their weight class on Friday was Paige Baker. She wasn't messing around, striking out eight batters over 6.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off seven hits. The pitching appearance was her 11th straight with two or fewer walks.
Coming up, Baker and Ross will challenge Edgewood at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Rams got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Cougars thanks in part to Baker: she struck out 14 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and not a single walk). Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
