On Tuesday Trevor McClure was dialed in and struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits (and only one walk). He played a big game the last time he faced Carbondale, so the team probably should've seen him coming. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fifth in a row with more than five strikeouts. For the year, McClure has an ERA of 2.53 over 44.3 innings pitched.
