Casa Grande was led to victory by Jeffrey Rice, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Tuesday. Rice was dynamite, not allowing a single earned run over 4.2 innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive pitching appearances.
Rice's strong effort led Casa Grande over Sonoma Valley and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Rice has dominated as far as walks are concerned (he's averaged 0.4 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Sonoma Valley has only allowed 3.36 per game this season.
