It was an underclassman who stole the show on Tuesday as Luka Knezevic came into the match with something to prove. He was dynamite, striking out six batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off seven hits (and not a single walk).
Knezevic's strong effort led Branham over Leland and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Knezevic has dominated as far as earned runs are concerned (he's averaged 0.8 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Leland has only allowed 4.62 per game this season.
