Ryan Ott turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday, striking out nine batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and not a single walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fourth in a row with less than two walks allowed. This year, Ott has an ERA of 2.94 over 31 innings pitched.
Ott's strong effort led East Central over Richmond and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. Ott has dominated as far as earned runs are concerned (he's averaged 0.8 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Richmond has only allowed 4.29 per game this season.
