Pike had no answer to Michael Fliss on Wednesday as he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out 11 over five innings pitched. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with more than eight strikeouts. This season, Fliss has an ERA of 1.35 over 20.7 innings pitched.
Fliss' strong effort led North Central over Pike and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. North Central is 9-0 against Pike going back to April of 2019, a lead they'll look to extend.
