On Friday Matthew Hall made a splash, striking out nine batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits. It looks like he has Las Cruces's number considering he had a big game the last time he faced them, too. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with more than five innings. On the season, Hall has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.47 over 28.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.371/0.444/0.581 with 17 RBI.
Hall's strong effort led Organ Mountain over Las Cruces and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Hall has dominated as far as earned runs are concerned (he's averaged 0.3 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Las Cruces has only allowed 3.21 per game this season.
