A's 3, Bloomington Gold 0
BLOOMINGTON — Josh Fletcher had a standout pitching outing and it carried the A’s to a 3-0 win over Bloomington Gold in the Red Haddox Annual Wood Bat Tournament.
Fletcher pitched all seven innings and permitted just two hits, no walks and struck out 15.
“Josh Fletcher put together one of the most impressive pitching outings I've seen in quite a while in a Legion baseball game,” A’s coach Todd Stellmaker said. “He had the Bloomington hitters off-balance all night. He was throwing his fastball by hitters, his breaking balls were missing bats and finishing as strikes, and he had real command of the strike zone.”
Fletcher moved to 3-0 this summer.
Fletcher’s young brother, Jerry Fletcher, had two hits and Sam Johnston drove in two runs.
