Carson Bailey was dynamite on Thursday, striking out ten batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off three hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his fourth in a row with more than six strikeouts. For the season, Bailey has an ERA of 1.62 over 39 innings pitched.
Even though Bailey couldn't lead Pearce over Boyd, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Sadly, Bailey's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped Pearce's eight-game streak of wins on the road. With the streak broken, Bailey and Pearce surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Friday's match. Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
