Kennedy had no answer to Noah Hanohano on Wednesday as he struck out 11 batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his seventh in a row with more than five innings. For the year, Hanohano has an ERA of 1.02 over 54.7 innings pitched.
Hanohano's strong effort led Newark Memorial over Kennedy and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Hanohano has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 1.8 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Kennedy has only allowed 6.89 per game this season.
