Renda threw 123 pitches, 83 for strikes, walked one, hit one batter, and struck out a career-high 15.
He faced just two batters over the minimum as no Chicago State player reached second base.
Renda struck out the side in the fifth and in the ninth, fanning Mattingly Romanin for the final out, sending the crowd into a frenzy as Renda was mobbed by his teammates. |
