Beyer had no answer to Riley Higgins on Wednesday as he struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and only one walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with more than five innings. On the season, Higgins has an ERA of 2.96 over 28.3 innings pitched.
Higgins' strong effort led Mountain House over Beyer and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Higgins has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 1.5 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Beyer has only allowed 6.47 per game this season.
