Cimarron had no answer to Zane Rush on Thursday as he didn't allow a single hit, only one earned run while striking out ten over five innings pitched. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his sixth in a row with more than five strikeouts. This season, Rush has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.31 over 26.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.413/0.557/0.674 with 27 RBI, plus 12 stolen bases.
Rush's strong effort led Grady over Cimarron and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Rush has dominated as far as earned runs are concerned (he's averaged 0.3 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Cimarron has only allowed 3.85 per game this season.
