Carlos Cornejo was dynamite on Wednesday, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off six hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with more than five innings. This year, Cornejo has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of .69 over 20.3 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.346/0.500/0.385 with 12 runs, plus 13 stolen bases.
Cornejo's strong effort led High Tech SD over Crawford and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Cornejo has dominated as far as earned runs are concerned (he's averaged 0.2 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Crawford has only allowed 3.19 per game this season.
