Trivia Answer:
On Monday, Robert Gasser, who pitched for UH from 2020-2021, won game 3 of the World Series for the Brewers. Not only did he win but he became just the second player in World Series history to finish a start of at least 6.0 innings and face the minimum number of batters. (The other was Don Larsen in his perfect game in 1956.) Read more. (Thanks, Chris Kohnhorst and Mike Ross!)
