On Tuesday Connor Ovard made a splash, striking out nine batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and only one walk). It looks like he has Yreka's number considering he had a big game the last time he faced them, too. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with more than six innings. On the season, Ovard has an ERA of 1.29 over 38 innings pitched.
Ovard and Orland will head out on the road to square off against Gridley at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Ovard has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 0.8 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Gridley has only allowed 7.79 per game this season.
