Alex Karson was dynamite on Friday, striking out 12 batters over six innings while giving up three earned runs off five hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fifth in a row with more than five strikeouts. On the year, Karson has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.13 over 31 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.400/0.469/0.709 with 16 runs, plus 18 stolen bases.
Karson and Von Steuben will look to defend their home field on Saturday against Lane Tech at 2:00 p.m. Von Steuben has some work to do to even out the 2-8 series between these two since May of 2019, but a win here would be a good start.
