pitching duel
Low-scoring mound battle
A pitching duel is a baseball game dominated by strong pitching on both sides, with few runs scored and batters struggling to get hits.
The term frames the contest as a battle between the two pitchers rather than the teams: It turned into a pitching duel, still scoreless in the eighth.
