North had to settle for second on Thursday, but Kaylee Simkins sure wasn't going down easily. Simkins wasn't messing around, tossing 4.1 innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. The pitching appearance was her seventh straight with two or fewer walks.
Simkins and North will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on East Bakersfield at 4:45 p.m. on the 22nd. The Stars got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Blades thanks in part to Simkins: she pitched four innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
