Blue Jays, Holman Stonewall Burlington, 4-0 Tuesday, August 5th , 2042 Steve Holman of the Bluefield Blue Jays was on top of his game. The 21-year-old tantalized the Burlington Royals with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 4-0. "He had the changeup working," Burlington manager Michael Williams said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower." The Bluefield hurler had 8 strikeouts, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 6 hits in his complete-game effort. Holman told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league." "If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said. This season, Holman has a 6-0 record with a 2.05 ERA in 8 starts. |
