Step aside, Mud Hens. Erie gets top billing in our daily minor league report the rest of the way. Coming into this first round of the Eastern League postseason, I couldn’t help be reminded of the Casey Mize, Matt Manning, Tarik Skubal rotation monster that stalked the mound at UPMC Park throughout the 2019 season when each was developing into blue chip pitching prospects. Reese Olson, Ty Madden, and Wilmer Flores isn’t quite on the same level, but that’s still a pretty nasty 1-2-3 to run out in a short playoff series.
Reese Olson got the start in this one, and he was outstanding once again.
