Foster Whisman was huge while hitting and pitching even without the win. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 4-for-4 with three RBI and two doubles. Those four hits gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Isaac Voight was cooking despite his team's loss, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3. Shelby County is 2-1 when Voight posts two or more runs, but 3-5 otherwise.
Meanwhile, it may have taken ten innings to finish the job, but St. Xavier ultimately got the result they hoped for on Saturday. They skirted past Olentangy Liberty 4-3.
Matthew Harris looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched.
At the plate, Donnie Sinkhorn and Kyle Krupp did most of the damage at the plate: Sinkhorn went 2-for-4 with three RBI, while Krupp scored three runs while going 3-for-5.
St. Xavier kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
St. Xavier is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. Shelby County now has a losing record of 5-6.
