0-0 after 3 innings---Gobourne with 7 K's so far.

Donnie Gobourne "Sparkled" in her performance last night holding the Texas Smoke to only 3 hits, 2 singles and a double while striking out 12 batters in a 2-0 victory.
The Sparks bats weren't particularly loud either though, but were able to piece together a walk, single, fielder's choice, and a double to score the two runs needed to get the win.
