Swink had no answer to Branson Burbidge on Saturday as he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his sixth in a row with less than two walks allowed. For the season, Burbidge has an ERA of 3.26 over 19.3 innings pitched.
Burbidge's strong effort led Rye over Swink and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. Burbidge has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 1.2 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Swink has only allowed 7.29 per game this season.
