Jake Beard struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits (and not a single walk), good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fifth in a row with one or fewer walks. This year, he has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.62 over 13 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.391/0.600/0.609 with 15 runs.
Coming up, Beard and Kenton Ridge will venture away from home to take on London at 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday. The Cougars got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Red Raiders thanks in part to Beard: he struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits (and not a single walk). Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
