This game was a pitchers DREAM for the Lady Panthers. Specifically Sophmore Pitcher Iselah Johnson, who pitched an outstanding complete game shutout striking out 9 and only giving up only 4 hits in all 7 innings of play. At the plate she went 1-2, reaching on a fielders choice in the 1st, and a scorching fast single in the 3rd. In a recent Interview she said, “I think the umpire had a small strike zone so I mainly focused on getting batters to ground out and pop up rather than strikeout”.
