Lowry came up short on Friday despite Matthew Casalez delivering his best game to date. Casalez turned in nothing short of a gem: he didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out eight over 4.1 innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive pitching appearances.
Even though Casalez couldn't lead Lowry over Elko, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. Casalez has dominated as far as runs are concerned (he's averaged 0.9 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Elko has only allowed 5.67 per game this season.
