Hsu Tames Seals, 5-0
The New Zealand Seals had no answer for Nigeria Nkali pitcher Xian Hsu. They failed to score a single run against him, losing, 5-0. New Zealand managed only 4 hits off Hsu, who had 7 strikeouts.

The extraordinarily popular Hsu got a standing ovation from the hometown crowd as he left the field, the applause continuing until he returned from the dugout to tip his cap to the crowd.

"Nkali fans are the best fans, in my opinion," he said. "It's a great feeling to throw a shutout under any circumstances, but to do it with the crowd behind you like that is just incredible."

This year, Hsu has worked 68.2 innings with 52 strikeouts en route to a 5-2 record and a 3.41 ERA.
