Leticia Benavides turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday: she struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and 12 unearned) runs off seven hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her sixth in a row with more than five innings. For the season, Benavides has an ERA of 10.00 over 56 innings pitched.
Even though Benavides couldn't lead West Wendover over Battle Mountain, she won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. Benavides has dominated as far as innings are concerned (she's averaged 5 per game this season), but she's got her work cut out for her considering Battle Mountain has only allowed 3.77 per game this season.
