Diedrich Smith was a major factor in Mt. Vernon's win over Benton on Monday. Smith turned in his biggest game of the season, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. Those seven strikeouts gave him a new career-high.

Looking ahead, Smith and Mt. Vernon will be playing at home against DuQuoin at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Mt. Vernon has been struggling at home and they will enter the game having lost seven straight home games dating back to last season. Will Smith and the rest of the Rams crew be able to turn things around? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other baseball content.
