In his fifth start of the spring, the righty turned in a complete-game gem, going the distance with a four-hit shutout in a 4-0 Battlers’ victory.
Dobnak shut down Ohio Valley with nine strikeouts over seven scoreless innings and walked just one. With AB’s most recent G-MAC win, the Battlers were able to sustain their perfect conference start at 6-0 in the league standings.
The sophomore mowed through the Fighting Scots with 101 pitches and escaped a bases-loaded jam in the second inning. He ended up retiring the last 10 consecutive batters he faced in order.
Dobnak improved to 3-2 on the hill for Alderson Broaddus and currently owns the best earned run average in the G-MAC at a 1.36 clip.
On the year, Dobnak has logged 33 innings while racking up 31 strikeouts and walking just four. His strikeout-to-walk ratio is backed up with four complete games and two shutouts. He has been touched for just five earned runs this spring.
