While Kason Averett delivered a dominant effort on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Salem Hills. Averett turned in nothing short of a gem: he struck out six batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits.
Even though Averett couldn't lead Salem Hills over Maple Mountain, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. Averett has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 0.7 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Maple Mountain has only allowed 7.14 per game this season.
