As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fifth in a row with less than one earned run. This year, he has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.09 over 19.3 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.488/0.532/0.698 with 12 runs.
Even though Derks couldn't lead Saint Andrew over King's Academy, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
