While Thursday's win was certainly a team effort, someone pulling more than their own weight was underclassman Molly Mansfield. She wasn't messing around on Thursday, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). The pitching appearance was her fourth straight with one or fewer walks.
Looking ahead, Mansfield and West Lafayette will be playing at home against Benton Central at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The last time Mansfield took on the Bison, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out six over four innings pitched. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
