Rematch this afternoon starting at 2pm after the Shox thrilling come-from-behind win on Monday.
Monday's pitching performances were good. Brian Flynn was mostly dominant, but had control problams in the 4th inning. After 2 outs, Flynn couldn't find the plate with anything but the fastball and the Cougars struck for 4 runs, including a 3-run HR by catcher JT Musso in the 9-hole, putting them up 5-1. Grant Muncrief slammed the door with 5.1 innings of 1-hit ball.
Muncrief's performance was clearly the best relief outing of the season so far. His breaking ball is nasty. The home plate umpire even had a hard time with it at times. He may be tightening his grip on the closer role, or at least the long closer (Dreifort style).
Offensive stars were Lassley with the game winning 2-run double and McKeever who was 3-4. Every starter had at least one hit in the game and all but one either scored a run or drove one in.
Today, Goddard High's Dalton Banwart is scheduled for his first appearance as the Shox go 5 men deep in the rotation. An added bonus of Muncrief's performance is that it gives the bullpen some reprieve and most everyone else should be available, with everyone pitching 2 innings or less in the NDSU series.
