St. Helena found a leader in Tahlia Smith as the squad took down Clear Lake on Tuesday. Smith was dialed in as she struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). She played a big game the last time she faced Clear Lake back in March of 2024, so the team probably should've seen her coming. Smith has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one walk in seven consecutive appearances.
Looking ahead, Smith and St. Helena will head out on the road to challenge Cloverdale at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Saints got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles thanks in part to Smith: she didn't allow a single earned run while striking out ten over six innings pitched. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
