On Saturday, O'Neill got the W thanks in part to Grace Drueke playing the best softball she has all season. Drueke pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit, good enough to also set a new career-high in strikeouts in the process. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive pitching appearances.
Drueke and O'Neill will face off against Central City at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. Drueke has dominated as far as hits are concerned (she's averaged 0.7 per game this season), but she's got her work cut out for her considering the Bison have only allowed six per game this season.
