Aiden Alford was dynamite on Friday, not allowing a single earned run and only two hits over five innings pitched. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his sixth in a row with more than five innings. This year, Alford has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.52 over 41.3 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.439/0.529/0.772 with 24 RBI.
Alford's strong effort led Lake over Richton and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Alford has dominated as far as earned runs are concerned (he's averaged 0.5 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering Richton has only allowed 3.2 per game this season.
