My son pitched his guts out tonight against a 15-0 team that was averaging 13 runs a game. A game ending sacrifice fly beat him 2-1. He was crushed. He pitched the whole game (6 2/3 innings), gave up 2 runs, scattered 4 hits, and had 10 strikeouts with 3 walks. He hit a batter too, and the HBP scored the winning team's first run.
Sounds like a fantastically pitched game. He'll get 'em next time.
It was. His counterpart threw a two hitter and had a very effective change. There was also good defense by both teams. I'm more of a fan of pitchers' duels than slugfests, so I enjoyed the game. The last time we played that team, they crushed us 19-4.
