Junior
Dillon Brandt threw a dazzling gem on Saturday afternoon, striking out 17 batters for the Rangers to help Jesuit Dallas secure an 8-0 win over Nimitz at Wright Field.
Â
Brandt allowed three hits over seven innings, walking only one batter alongside his eyebrow-raising, 17-strikeout performance. In the top of the third, Brandt threw an Immaculate Inning, striking out the side on nine pitches.
