Horton came up short on Tuesday despite Alexis Becker delivering her best game to date. Marais des Cygnes Valley had no answer to Becker as she struck out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and five unearned) runs off six hits. Becker has been consistent recently: she hasn't pitched less than six innings in three consecutive pitching appearances.
Even though Becker couldn't lead Horton over Marais des Cygnes Valley, she won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Despite Becker's best efforts to the contrary, Horton will head into their next match having dropped 33 straight matches dating back to last season. Will Tuesday be the turning point?
