While Wooster might've come up empty on Saturday, Chris Ballard wasn't going down without a fight. Ballard kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out eight over four innings pitched, which was good enough to set a new career-high in strikeouts.

Even though Ballard couldn't lead Wooster over Dayton, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Sadly, Ballard's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped Wooster's five-game streak of wins at home. With the streak broken, Ballard and Wooster surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Saturday's match. Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
