Nichols was led to victory by Ross Yoshida, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Monday. Cardinal O'Hara had no answer to Yoshida as he kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 14 over five innings pitched. Yoshida has been consistent recently: he hasn't pitched less than five innings in three consecutive pitching appearances.
Yoshida's strong effort led Nichols over Cardinal O'Hara and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Nichols is 7-0 against Cardinal O'Hara going back to May of 2016, a lead they'll look to extend.
