Walsh Excels, Phoenix Wins Wild Card Series Game 1
The rookie looked like he belonged out there.

The Phoenix Armadillos sent 21-year-old left-hander Gary Walsh to the mound for a high-pressure playoff start and he repaid their confidence, quieting the Gilbert Geckos on a day where the Armadillos struggled to produce runs of their own. In the end, Phoenix cobbled together enough to take the 2-1 decision. The win gave Phoenix a 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 Wild Card Series.

Walsh was in the zone all game. He frustrated Gilbert hitters while giving the Armadillos 6.1 innings of quality work. Walsh threw 78 pitches, allowing 4 hits and getting 8 punchouts.

"Gary made the big pitches when he needed to," said Phoenix manager Chris Graham.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Maryvale Baseball Park in Phoenix.
