Elk Grove came up short on Monday despite Ned Frutchey delivering his best game to date. Frutchey turned in nothing short of a gem: he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out nine over seven innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in seven consecutive pitching appearances.
Even though Frutchey couldn't lead Elk Grove over Davis Sr., he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Sadly, Frutchey's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped Elk Grove's nine-game streak of wins at home. With the streak broken, Frutchey and Elk Grove surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Wednesday's match. Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
