Derreck Buford turned in his biggest game of the season in Friday's first game, scoring four runs and stealing a base while getting on base in five of his six plate appearances. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with less than two walks allowed. This year, Buford has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of .00 over 4 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.579/0.636/0.737 with 10 runs.
Buford's strong effort led Crowley County over Rocky Ford and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 12:00 p.m. in Friday's second game. Buford has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 0.3 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Rocky Ford has only allowed 6.5 per game this season.
