O'Connor had no answer to Smith Bailey on Wednesday as he struck out eight batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off eight hits (and not a single walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fifth in a row with more than five innings. For the year, Bailey has an ERA of .72 over 29 innings pitched.
Even though Bailey couldn't lead Mountain Ridge over O'Connor, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 3:45 p.m. on Friday. Bailey has dominated as far as innings are concerned (he's averaged 5.8 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering O'Connor has only allowed 4.94 per game this season.
