On Saturday, Gunnison got the W thanks in part to Reese Japuntich playing the best softball she has all season. Japuntich struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off seven hits, good enough to also set a new career-high in strikeouts in the process. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't pitched less than five innings in three consecutive pitching appearances.
Japuntich and Gunnison have the luxury of staying home for another game and will welcome Montrose at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The last time Japuntich duked it out with Montrose (back in August), Gunnison came out on top by a score of 21-9. Will another strong game from Japuntich be enough to do it again?
