On Friday Araceli Rodriguez made a splash, striking out ten batters over four innings while giving up three earned runs off three hits. It looks like she has Morton's number considering she had a big game the last time she faced them, too. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her third in a row with more than six strikeouts. On the year, Rodriguez has an ERA of 29.64 over 30.7 innings pitched.
Rodriguez and Crosbyton will play host again on Friday to welcome Petersburg, where first pitch is scheduled at 4:00 p.m. Crosbyton got just the result they wanted when they last faced Petersburg, probably because Rodriguez had a solid game then too: she scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in five of her six plate appearances. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
