Golden Grizzlies Not Competitive in 10-0 Loss to Bethlehem
It wasn't easy but Les Taalib made it look that way.

Taalib silenced the Lebowakgomo Golden Grizzlies, 10-0, in a Bethlehem Knighthawks triumph at Golden Grizzlies Stadium. Despite the appearance of dominance, Taalib said that he felt like he was struggling all game. He gave up 1 walk and 6 hits.

"It didn't feel quite right today, but I made the decision to bear down and work through it," he said. "I made a few mistakes but it goes to show what you can do with grit and not much else."
