Erickson, Lady Wolves Take Down Norwood…

The Reeds Spring Lady Wolves have been hitting on all cylinders this season.  They are hitting over .400 as a team and getting masterful pitching performances.  Going into last night they were 9-1, suffering only a one run loss at Bolivar.

Yesterday afternoon they traveled to Norwood to take on the Lady Pirates in a game I broadcast right here on perryphillipssports.com  While the Lady Pirates pitching kept the Reeds Spring bats relatively silent, they showed with Izzy Erickson in the circle they dont need much.

The sophomore pitcher was mowing them down.  Its hard to believe she could have been much better.  Fifteen of the Twenty-One outs came via strikeout.  She was only a lone walk, a single, and an error short of perfect.  But that has been pretty much par for the course for her this season. She lowered her ERA to 1.00 and went over the century mark in strikeouts recording her 103rd.

She has been incredible at the plate as well, hitting over .600 coming into the game and adding a 2-4 performance on the day.  She scored the first run of the game and drove in another.  Madison Cantrell had two hits as well moving her batting average up to .485.

The Lady Wolves are now 10-1 on the season and are going to be right back at it this afternoon.  The host Aurora with a first pitch scheduled for 5.
