On Thursday Braylynn Pope was dialed in and struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off eight hits (and only one walk). She played a big game the last time she faced Marion County, so the team probably should've seen her coming.

On the mound, she has an ERA of 3.47 over 76.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.559/0.591/0.831 with 54 runs and 7 home runs, plus 16 stolen bases.
