The Captain's Spotlight


First name Brittany, last name Dauterman. Most foes in NW Ohio are very familiar with Bloomdale Elmwood's ace hurler. One word---DOMINANT.The standout pitcher for the Royals has been bolstering her resume for the past 3 years as one of NW Ohio's best. This season is no different. Dauterman (20-0) has guided the Royals to a fantastic 26-1 overall season, as well as an appearance in the D3 Ashland Regional to be played this week. Elmwood's only loss came this season to the hands of Archbold, ironically the same team Elmwood will face this week at Brookside Park. During that game with the Blue Streaks, Dauterman did not pitch which puts this quarrel in a completely different context. I'm not quite sure if Archbold has faced a pitcher quite like Dauterman to date. Thus far, Dauterman has manufactured a 2.2 strikeout average per inning. 309 strikeouts in just 135 innings of work. She had 17K's in their district final win over Lake. Her earned run average is a miniscule 0.53 for the season. Dauterman's still has revenge on the mind dating back to 2006 when they lost in extra innings to Genoa who eventually went on to the D3 State Final Four. If pitching wasn't enough, she also has one of the biggest bats for the Bloomdale squad. She was responsible for all 3 RBIs against Lake in the District Final as well. She is the total package, and one that deserves the Captain's Spotlight!
