Bond Spins 1-0 Shutout Against Elizabethton
It wasn't easy but the Mahoning Valley Monarchs made it look that way.

Starter Harold Bond shut out the Elizabethton Crackers despite having what he later called "sub-par" stuff, and the Mahoning Valley Monarchs cruised to victory, 1-0. Bond allowed only 2 hits and rang up 5 strikeouts but insisted later that he did not deserve primary credit for the win.

"It didn't feel quite right today, but I got a lot of help to get through," he said. "I trusted my catcher and the guys behind me bailed me out more than once when I screwed up."

In 6 starts this year, Bond has fashioned a 4-1 record and a 1.02 ERA.
