The sophomore righthander surrendered zero runs on three hits over seven innings, striking out 14 and walking zero while showing off incredible command the entire afternoon.

An early bright spot for Bristol was a single by Kaiden Kohler in the first inning. Kohler also led things off on the hill for Bristol.
