Havana had to settle for second on Thursday, but Maddie Howerter sure wasn't going down easily. Farmington had no answer to Howerter as she struck out eight batters over six innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off seven hits (and only one walk). Howerter has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one walk in eight consecutive appearances.
Looking ahead, Howerter and Havana will venture away from home to face off against Knoxville at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Sadly, Howerter's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped the Ducks' three-game streak of wins on the road. With the streak broken, Howerter and the Ducks surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Friday's match. Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
