 | Baker Sparkles in Shutout Thursday, July 11th, 2013: Ben Baker was stingy with runs in his latest outing against the River Chiefs. He shut them out 6-0 on 3 hits with 14 strikeouts and no walks.
The Coney Island manager said, "Ben was very aggressive tonight. He threw everything he had with a lot of confidence."
The losing manager had praise, too. "He was throwing strikes with all his pitches and mixing it up well. Baker has a sneaky fastball, and whatever that off-speed pitch was, it was keeping our timing off."
This year Baker has worked 102 innings with 121 strikeouts en route to a 5-7 record and a 3.62 ERA. |   |
