On Friday Gerry Diaz pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits, which was good enough to also set a new career-low in walks. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with less than zero earned runs. This year, he has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 5.16 over 40.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.447/0.517/0.829 with 23 RBI and 5 home runs, plus 12 stolen bases.
Looking ahead, Diaz and Fort Stockton will host Greenwood at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Panthers will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 344 places lower in Texas), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Diaz? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
