Ben Geers was dynamite on Wednesday, striking out six batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with less than one earned run. This season, he has an ERA of .57 over 12.3 innings pitched.
Looking ahead, Geers and Peoria Notre Dame will challenge Illinois Valley Central at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Grey Ghosts will enter the matchup having just beaten Bloomington Central Catholic, so the Irish will have to guard against a team looking to keep the ball rolling.
