Adan Ortiz pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fifth in a row with one or fewer hits. This season, he has an ERA of 0.75 over 9.1 innings pitched.
Even though Ortiz couldn't lead Sherman over Lovejoy, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Sadly, Ortiz's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped the Bearcats' three-game streak of wins at home. With the streak broken, Ortiz and the Bearcats surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Friday's match. Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
