Joshua Laster turned in nothing short of a gem on Tuesday: he didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out nine over 4.2 innings pitched. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with less than one hits allowed. For the season, Laster has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.00 over 42 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.607/0.671/0.885 with 33 RBI.
Laster's strong effort led Rio Hondo over Lyford and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Laster has dominated as far as earned runs are concerned (he's averaged 0.2 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Lyford has only allowed 3.79 per game this season.
