Big Day by Fitch Ignites Lynx Win

Over 6.2 innings, he yielded 2 runs on 6 hits, with 1 walk and 5 strikeouts. The win gives Ottawa a season record of 42-18.

Ottawa center fielder Brian Nuzum delivered a 2-run home run in the top of the first. Overall, he went 3 for 6, including 1 home run, 1 single, and 1 double. He scored 2 runs and batted in 2.

"You start putting runs on the board and winning, everyone's going to get excited," said Nuzum.
