Jaydon Battista struck out ten batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and only one walk), good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with less than one earned run. This year, he has an ERA of .54 over 13 innings pitched.
Looking ahead, Battista and St. Paul Lutheran will welcome Lone Jack at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Battista? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
