Gretna East came out on top against Bennington on Tuesday thanks in part to Hadley McDowell's efforts. The Badgers had no answer to McDowell as she didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over five innings pitched. McDowell has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances.
Looking ahead, McDowell and Gretna East will square off against Hastings at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday. McDowell has dominated as far as strikeouts are concerned (she's averaged 5.8 per game this season), but she's got her work cut out for her considering the Tigers have only allowed 3.67 per game this season.
