Buena Vista had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Omaha North Vikings a 13-0 shutout on Thursday. The win was some much needed relief for the Bison as it spelled an end to their 18-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Gwyn Revis was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Revis was also big at the plate, going 2-for-2 with four RBI, two runs, and a triple.
