Zach Maurer was dialed in as he struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up four earned runs off three hits (and not a single walk). He was dominant the last time he took on Carterville back in April of 2024, so they probably should've seen this coming. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his seventh in a row with less than one walk. For the year, Maurer has an ERA of 1.75 over 32 innings pitched.
Looking ahead, Maurer and Massac County will be playing at home against Harrisburg at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Patriots got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bulldogs thanks in part to Maurer: he pitched seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off seven hits. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
