Empire came up short on Wednesday despite Ian Lemus delivering his best game to date. Lemus turned in nothing short of a gem: he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (he also only allowed one walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive pitching appearances.
Lemus and Empire will stay at home for another game and welcome Willcox at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The last time Lemus duked it out with Willcox (back in April of 2023), Empire came out on top by a score of 15-1. Will another strong game from Lemus be enough to do it again?
