On Wednesday Ryan Martinez was dialed in and pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (he also didn't allow any walks). He played a big game the last time he faced Serrano, so the team probably should've seen him coming. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with less than two hits allowed. For the year, Martinez has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.54 over 13.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.373/0.465/0.441 with 17 runs, plus 10 stolen bases.
Martinez's strong effort led Apple Valley over Serrano and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 3:15 p.m. on Friday. Serrano is limping into the matchup having lost five straight on the road. There's no doubt they're looking for a change of fortune, will Apple Valley have enough to stop it? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
