While Evan Dalon delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Hammond. Dalon pitched 3.1 innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits. The performance also marked the fewest walks (zero) he has had since back in April of 2024. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (five).
Even though Dalon couldn't lead Hammond over Sumner, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Despite Dalon's best efforts to the contrary, Hammond will head into their next match having dropped six straight matches. Will Saturday be the turning point?
