Stryffeler was dynamic in a relief role and a strong start on the road as the Storm helped their playoff case with a series win against Hillsdale.
As the regular season gets closer to concluding, Lake Erie took two of three from the Chargers, who were flirting with first place in the division with Ohio Dominican.
Stryffeler pitched nine innings and fanned 12 hitters while collecting a winning decision on the mound and held hitters to an opposing batting average of just .125.
He started out with a scoreless appearance against Notre Dame (OH) outside of conference play and fired a perfect inning with two strikeouts.
Versus Hillsdale, he pitched eight strong innings with 10 strikeouts while scattering four hits and walking just one. He yielded a pair of earned runs as the Storm offense picked up the slack in a close 4-3 final.
Stryffeler’s effort was sandwiched between a gem tossed by David Lemasters. Stryffeler is now 4-3 on the spring in 11 appearances with eight starts. Hitters are batting just .232 off the righty and his K/9 ratio is an impressive 11.85 split.
