Conner Diiulio turned in nothing short of a gem on Saturday: he struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fourth in a row with more than six innings. This year, Diiulio has an ERA of 2.86 over 36.7 innings pitched.
Even though Diiulio couldn't lead Rock Island over Moline, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Sadly, Diiulio's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped Rock Island's four-game streak of wins at home. With the streak broken, Diiulio and Rock Island surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Saturday's match. Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
