On Thursday Thomas Mitchell made a splash, striking out nine batters over 5.1 innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. It looks like he has Lewisburg's number considering he had a big game the last time he faced them, too. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fifth in a row with more than six strikeouts. For the season, Mitchell has an ERA of 4.02 over 38.3 innings pitched.
Even though Mitchell couldn't lead Hernando over Lewisburg, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Mitchell has dominated as far as strikeouts are concerned (he's averaged 7.1 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Lewisburg has only allowed 3.88 per game this season.
