Phoenix Christian found a leader in Karly Van Metre as the team took down Pima on Monday. Van Metre wasn't messing around, striking out nine batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off seven hits. The pitching appearance was her 13th straight with two or fewer walks.
Looking ahead, Van Metre and Phoenix Christian will play host again on Wednesday to welcome Fountain Hills, where first pitch is scheduled at 3:45 p.m. The Cougars were victorious the last time they faced the Falcons, a win that might not have happened without Van Metre: she struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
