Paul Batastini turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday, striking out six batters over 3.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with less than two hits allowed. This season, Batastini has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 4.05 over 36.3 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.396/0.482/0.604 with 21 RBI.
Batastini and Lafayette Christian will head out on the road to challenge Holy Ground Baptist Academy at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Lafayette Christian got just the result they wanted when they last faced Holy Ground Baptist Academy, probably because Batastini had a solid game then too: he didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit over five innings pitched. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
