On the mound, Leming didn't allow a single hit and allowed only two earned runs while striking out 11 over four innings pitched. Meanwhile, Baer pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Leming also allowed no hits, which is notable because Northfield is 3-1 when he allows at most one hit, but 6-12 otherwise.
