Kenlie Guthrie spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and five unearned) runs on 13 hits. Those hits marked the first that she allowed this season.
Pamlico County is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season.
