Central had no answer to Ben Elmshaeuser on Wednesday as he struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with more than seven strikeouts. For the season, Elmshaeuser has an ERA of 2.49 over 19.7 innings pitched.

Corvallis will be headed into this one with a pretty big disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 51 places lower in Oregon), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Elmshaeuser? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
