Aiden Smith turned in nothing short of a gem on Tuesday: he struck out eight batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fourth in a row with more than six strikeouts. On the year, Smith has an ERA of .40 over 17.7 innings pitched.
Smith's strong effort led Shelbyville over Pendleton Heights and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Smith has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 0.9 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Pendleton Heights has only allowed 6.4 per game this season.
