Jared Foster pitched three shutout innings June 11 as the Pro-Clean offense scored early and often against A-1 to retain possession of first place as the Cal Ripken Minor League season at Exchange Park nears an end.
Two weeks ago Pro Clean, Rotary and A-1 Heating and Cooling were locked in a three-way tie for first in the 9-10 year old league. After Pro Clean defeated Rotary, just two games remained between three teams — Rotary vs. A-1 on Friday and Pro Clean vs. A-1 on Saturday.
When Rotary defeated A-1 June 10, it put Pro Clean in the position to take control of the league race with a win Saturday.
Foster was an imposing figure on the mound for Pro Clean, pitching three innings of one-hit ball and striking out five of the 10 batters he faced. Tyrese Coffey replaced Foster in the top of the fourth. The two held the A-1 offense to a single hit and two total base runners in four innings.
