Mike Richard also struck out nine. And he walked one, in addition to allowing three hits. DeSales had no errors, so Mike Richard had four base runners during the game. And he picked off two of them.“He’s obviously a young guy with a chance to be extremely good,” Cox said of the freshman. “We’re pleased with how he located his pitches. He has good movement and good velocity for a ninth grader.“And he holds runners very well,” Cox added. “He’s intelligent and he has good presence on the mound.”
