Pleasant Grove had no answer to Ned Frutchey on Wednesday as he struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fourth in a row with more than six strikeouts. For the year, Frutchey has an ERA of .69 over 30.3 innings pitched.
Frutchey's strong effort led Elk Grove over Pleasant Grove and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Frutchey has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 1.3 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Pleasant Grove has only allowed 6.73 per game this season.
