Whitney had no answer to Ned Frutchey on Monday as he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out nine over six innings pitched. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his ninth in a row with more than five strikeouts. This season, Frutchey has an ERA of .69 over 61 innings pitched.
Even though Frutchey couldn't lead Elk Grove over Whitney, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Frutchey has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 1.4 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Whitney has only allowed 7.1 per game this season.
