 | Bulldogs Blank Cougars, Ortíz Wins Tuesday, April 17th, 2012: He didn't put a spell on them. It wasn't black magic, it was just old-fashioned good pitching. That's how Félix Ortíz of the Mississippi State Bulldogs blanked the Washington State Cougars 4-0. After tossing a complete-game 4-hit shutout, he was all smiles, saying, "I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game. I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance." His own skipper said, "He's at his best when he gets ahead of the hitters." Ortíz walked 0 and struck out 10 in the victory. The Cougars manager commented on their lack of success against him, saying, "He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes." |   |
