He finished the game with his first nine-inning complete game of the season and allowed two walks with nine strikeouts. Batka has won his last three starts to improve to 8-1 this season. In those starts, he has 29 strikeouts in 21.1 innings of work. He is now fifth on the single-season strikeout list (81) at Davenport.
