Ritchie’s second straight complete game leads Pirates past Huskies

Ritchie pitched another complete game seven inning shutout recording six strikeouts while only giving up two hits and a walk to the Husky batters.

Ritchie was efficient on the mound from the get go, earning her 100th strikeout on the season on the first batter she faced in the game. She also was able to show off her defensive abilities, as she snagged a rocket line drive headed to her on the mound with ease in the second inning. For the second straight game, Ritchie did not allow a hit until the fourth inning. She credits her recent strong play on how she has opened up the last two games, and how she has attacked batters.
