Mesa Verde had to settle for second on Tuesday, but Ilyana Franco sure wasn't going down easily. Franco pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits, which was good enough to also set a new career-low in walks.
Even though Franco couldn't lead Mesa Verde over Woodland Christian, she won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Mavericks will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 572 places lower in California), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Franco? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
