RIDGEFIELD — Trumbull pitcher Bryan Kraus did not add a slider to his arsenal until just prior to this season.
The righthander has so much confidence in it now, he routinely used it as his out pitch Friday afternoon against Ridgefield.
Kraus put some runners on base, but his ability to strike batters out in big moments is what mattered most on Friday.
Kraus pitched six innings, allowing two runs and striking out nine while picking up an 8-2 win at Ridgefield.
