On Friday Brayden Martinez was dialed in and struck out nine batters over 2.2 innings while giving up just two earned runs off one hit. He played a big game the last time he faced Del Mar, so the team probably should've seen him coming. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his eighth in a row with more than six strikeouts. This year, Martinez has an ERA of 3.05 over 36.7 innings pitched.
Martinez and Gilroy will head out on the road to square off against Lincoln at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Gilroy got just the result they wanted when they last faced Lincoln, probably because Martinez had a solid game then too: he struck out 13 batters over 6.2 innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
