Cedar Valley came up short on Thursday despite Dredyn Mortensen delivering his best game to date. Mortensen turned in nothing short of a gem: he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive pitching appearances.
Even though Mortensen couldn't lead Cedar Valley over Maple Mountain, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. Mortensen has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 1.2 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Maple Mountain has only allowed 5.73 per game this season.
