Derek Van Roekel gave up the fewest earned runs he has since back in February on Tuesday. As a matter of fact, he turned in his biggest game of the season, pitching 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He also tossed a walk, which is notable because Estero is 3-1 when he allows at most two walks, but 3-8 otherwise.

Looking ahead, Van Roekel and Estero will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Fort Myers at 7:00 p.m. The Wildcats will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 239 places lower in Florida), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Van Roekel? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
