DeRatt Continues to Excel in Casper

Former UNC Asheville pitcher Alan DeRatt continues to have a solid start to his professional career. Last week, DeRatt pitched in two games in relief for the Casper Ghosts in the Pioneer League and did not allow a run.

The Cary native pitched against Missoula on July 8 and went 2.1 innings of work, striking out three, allowing no hits and walking just one. He pitched at Helena on July 12 and went 1.2 innings. DeRatt got into a little trouble with three walks but pitched out of it with two strikeouts.
