Fike was led to victory by Thomas Buchan, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Tuesday. East Wake had no answer to Buchan as he didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out 11 over 5.1 innings pitched. Buchan has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive pitching appearances.
Buchan's strong effort led Fike over East Wake and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Fike is 6-1 against East Wake going back to March of 2018, a lead they'll look to extend.
