Ritchie (12-10), who came into Tuesday’s game after being given the loss in each of ECU’s (20-23, 2-7 American Athletic Conference) three games this past weekend, got back to controlling the game from the mound. She held North Carolina Central (8-26) to just three hits on the night, going the first four innings without giving up a single hit Tuesday night.
After throwing many pitches over the weekend against South Florida, Ritchie only needed 91 pitches to earn the victory. Ritchie’s dominant performance on such a low number of pitches left head coach Courtney Oliver happy with how she approached the NCCU batters.
