Spencer Shackles Riverside
Saturday, April 9th, 2033
Eugene Spencer of the Jacksonville Hellcats was on top of his game today.
The 24-year-old tantalized the Riverside Red Bulls with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest and came away with a 2-0 shutout.
"He had the changeup working," Riverside manager Will Hunt said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."
The Jacksonville hurler had 9 strikeouts, gave up 2 walks and surrendered 1 hit in his complete-game effort.
Spencer told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league."
"If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said.
