Locklen Lemley turned in his biggest game of the season on Tuesday, striking out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fourth in a row with more than six strikeouts. On the year, Lemley has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 3.95 over 28.3 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.519/0.594/0.788 with 23 runs, plus 10 stolen bases.
Lemley's strong effort led Mesa Ridge over Harrison and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Lemley 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 Harrison has only allowed 6.46 per game this season.
