Eastlake had no answer to Karsten Sweum on Saturday as he struck out ten batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his sixth in a row with more than seven strikeouts. For the season, Sweum has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.12 over 31.3 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.385/0.500/0.718 with 15 RBI.
Even though Sweum couldn't lead Glacier Peak over Eastlake, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Sweum has dominated as far as earned runs are concerned (he's averaged 0.3 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Eastlake has only allowed 3.18 per game this season.
