While Ava Potempa delivered a dominant effort on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Stevenson. Potempa wasn't messing around, striking out seven batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit (and only one walk). The pitching appearance was her 22nd straight with two or fewer walks.
Even though Potempa couldn't lead Stevenson over Mundelein, she won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Sadly, Potempa's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped the Patriots' 12-game streak of wins at home. With the streak broken, Potempa and the Patriots surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Saturday's match. Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
