On Linden's side, Jacob Ricketts made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over six innings pitched. Ricketts also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Linden is 5-2 when he allows at most one earned run, but 2-7 otherwise.
