Braeden Burton turned in his biggest game of the season on Tuesday, not allowing a single earned run while striking out ten over seven innings pitched. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with more than five innings. For the year, Burton has an ERA of 3.35 over 23 innings pitched.
Burton's strong effort led Franklin Community over Martinsville and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Burton has dominated as far as walks are concerned (he's averaged 1.1 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Martinsville has only allowed 3.73 per game this season.
