Carlynton had no answer to Jordan Smith on Monday as he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over six innings pitched. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with more than five innings. For the year, Smith has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 6.39 over 30.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.543/0.590/0.886 with 16 RBI, plus 13 stolen bases.
Smith's strong effort led Sewickley Academy over Carlynton and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Smith has dominated as far as walks are concerned (he's averaged 1.4 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Carlynton has only allowed 5.67 per game this season.
