Brett Crossland turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday: he struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fifth in a row with more than eight strikeouts. On the year, Crossland has an ERA of 2.43 over 46 innings pitched.
Crossland's strong effort led Mountain Pointe over Campo Verde and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 3:45 p.m. on Monday. Crossland has dominated as far as innings are concerned (he's averaged 5 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Campo Verde has only allowed 5.41 per game this season.
