Leyla Jaquez turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, striking out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was her fourth in a row with more than six innings dating back to last season. This season, she has been strong no matter where she plays. On the mound, she has an ERA of 4 over 56 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat she has slashed 0.588/0.650/1.029 with 18 runs, plus 10 stolen bases.
Jaquez will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when she faces off against Aurora Central on Tuesday. Jaquez has dominated as far as walks are concerned (she's averaged 1.7 per game this season), but she's got her work cut out for her considering the Trojans have only allowed 10.18 per game this season.
