Z and defense shut down BC
Zeph battled tonight with 93 pitches and 5 Ks to spoil BCs thoughts of a sweep. In a change of pace move by Coach Hoover, he opted to throw his Ace game #2 tonight. Jeter had magical gloves behind him. Nico stabbed a fly foul ball and stopped a base hit and threw out the batter from his knees. After an error to start the top of the 7th by Robert, Brantly caught a liner with bases loaded and doubled off the BC runner at 3rd for some breathing room. Z gave up a 2 run bomb in the first for his most earned runs in a game since Spring Break. His ERA is still a stellar 0.83... A mark that will undoubtedly rank amongst the greatest pitching seasons in Pioneer history.
