 So Isaac Wolhuter, ace of the tri-center staff out there for an inning of work, and there's a fastball called strike three. Four batters for Essex, all four of them have struck out. Got to bring up Ben King. King, just an eighth grader, the first baseman, hitting .238 this season, five hits and 21 at-bats. Lefty stands in. First pitch misses down for a ball, and it's 1-0.
