Happy Tuesday, everyone.
As you well know, softball was eliminated from the WCWS after looking like the odds on favorite headed into the semifinal round. Montana Fouts was in tears after the game. For whatever reason she just didn’t have her stuff last night and ended up with her worst line of the season, Still, her future is bright.
She struck out just enough batters last night to finish as the leader with 349 in only 213 innings. For some perspective, the two pitchers who finished second and third in Ks, Keely Rochard of VT with 348 and Gabbie Plain of Washington with 337, threw a respective 244 and 237 innings.
