Callahan Holds Ducks Scoreless Wednesday, May 21st, 2014 "That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," the Lights manager told reporters after today's game. The Ducks ran into a buzzsaw as Elvis Callahan cut them down to size 5-0 with a 5-hit shutout. His skipper added, "He knows exactly what he's doing. He's not going to throw you a good pitch until you make him throw one." In the complete game whitewash the Phoenix hurler doled out 2 walks and registered 10 strikeouts. In the postgame press conference his catcher said, "Elvis goes out there and just goes about his business. I don't think he gets too concerned about what's going on. You can call any pitch and you know where he's going to be." Callahan also got some praise from the Long Island manager. "He really kept us in check today. Everything looked to be moving. Seemed like the pitch was right down the middle and it went over down and away... we took some pathetic swings." To date this season Callahan sports a 2-1 mark with a 2.21 ERA in 5 starting assignments. He has held the opposition to a .176 batting average and has 45 strikeouts in 36.2 innings. |
