MT Breland was unstoppable on Friday, striking out six batters over 5.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his sixth in a row with one or fewer earned runs. On the season, he has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.32 over 37 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.298/0.492/0.488 with 40 runs, plus 27 stolen bases.
Even though Breland couldn't lead Columbia over Purvis, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Sadly, Breland's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped the Wildcats' five-game streak of wins on the road. With the streak broken, Breland and the Wildcats surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Saturday's match. Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
