The Southington Navigators of the Connecticut North MSBL nominate Dan Smallacombe, who pitched against the Collinville RiverRats on May 12th in a rematch of last year’s championship series. He threw a 7-inning complete game, gave up four hits, four walks, and only one run while striking out 11. Dan’s ERA so far this year stands at 0.70.
He only allowed a solo homer in the top of the 7th to break a 0-0 tie, but then came back in the bottom of the 7th with a bases-loaded walk-off infield single to end it and give the Navigators a 2-1 win.
