Sadly, Jordan Vaka posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Johansen over Lathrop on Wednesday. Lathrop had no answer to Vaka as he struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and four unearned) runs off seven hits. Vaka has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive pitching appearances.
Even though Vaka couldn't lead Johansen over Lathrop, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Despite Vaka's best efforts to the contrary, Johansen will head into their next match having dropped 16 straight contests. Will Friday be the turning point? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
