Grady Schmidt Game Report: @ Rockford East

Grady Schmidt posted a new career-high in strikeouts on Thursday. He struck out eight batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and only one walk).

Schmidt's strong effort led Jefferson over Rockford East and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The E-Rabs are limping into the matchup having lost 13 straight on the road dating back to last season. There's no doubt they're looking for a change of fortune, but will Schmidt and the J-Hawks have enough to stop it?
