Remarkable Pitching Lifts C R Giants to Lead in Midwest League
By Bob Hersom the Cedar Rapids Giants have won 10 of 12 games to take a two game lead in the Midwest Baseball league's Southern division. Their success centers on pitching as eight starters have taken turns in a string of strong outings. The staff posted a 2.46 ERA over 12 games while limiting earned runs to 26, with 16 in 11 of those 12 games. Standout hitters include Jeff Yurak and Jose Barrios, but the run of wins comes from a dominant mound effort and consistent relief when needed.
