Desert Ridge was led to victory by Ryan Dilger, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Monday. Dilger was dynamite, striking out 12 batters over 6.2 innings while giving up four earned runs off three hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive pitching appearances.
Dilger's strong effort led Desert Ridge over Highland and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday. Dilger has dominated as far as strikeouts are concerned (he's averaged 5.6 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Highland has only allowed 3.36 per game this season.
