Nobody could stop Klaire Cherry on Thursday as she struck out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her eighth in a row with two or fewer walks. This season, she has been strong no matter where she plays. On the mound, she has an ERA of 0.98 over 36.2 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.600/0.714/0.920 with 18 runs, plus 13 stolen bases.
Looking ahead, Cherry and Ridgecroft will stay at home for another game and welcome Lawrence Academy at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Rams will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 153 places lower in North Carolina), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Cherry? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
