Giffen Now 11-2 After Beating Nutcrackers
Starting pitcher Dan Giffen gave the Paradise Island Pirates a rock-solid performance, helping his team defeat the Normal Nutcrackers, 3-0, at The Nutcracker Suite. Earning the save was Yamada Anteau. He's now cashed in 12 of 15 save opportunities. Paradise Island is rocking and rolling at 96-44.

The Nutcrackers had little chance against Giffen, who overpowered Normal hitters and struck out 11.

"The only difference is executing pitches and not executing pitches," said Giffen. "When you don't execute, you get beat. When you execute, you usually give your team a chance to win."
