Zachary Benton posted a new career-low in earned runs on Thursday. He turned in nothing short of a gem, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has become a key player for Independence: the team is 2-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 5-9 otherwise.

Benton's effort led Independence over Rocky River and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Ravens are limping into the matchup having lost eight straight on the road dating back to last season. There's no doubt they're looking for a change of fortune, but will Benton and the Patriots have enough to stop it?
