Valor Christian senior Ali Kilponen continued her scoring start on Saturday.
The three-time player of the year struck out 14 as her Class 4A top-ranked Eagles beat No. 9 Frederick 9-0 on Saturday during the Downtown Showdown at Metro State. Through four games, she’s averaging nearly 14 strikeouts per game, including a 19-strikeout performance to begin the season against Cheyenne Mountain last week.
On Saturday, Kilponen allowed just two hits and walked one over seven innings in the top-10 game against the Warriors.
Kate Meredith added three RBIs for Valor in the win, as did Hannah Hollander.
Frederick, now 1-2, looks to rebound at Mead on Tuesday. Valor travels to Chatfield that same day.
