Slinger had no answer to Jack Wolf on Saturday as he struck out ten batters over 5.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off nine hits (and not a single walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fourth in a row with more than five strikeouts. This season, Wolf has an ERA of 2.29 over 18.3 innings pitched.
Wolf's strong effort led Union Grove over Slinger and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Wolf has dominated as far as earned runs are concerned (he's averaged 0.5 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Slinger has only allowed 3.33 per game this season.
