Season Possibly Over for Mike Johnson
Friday, April 7th , 2062
Riverside starting pitcher Mike Johnson could miss the remainder of the season because of a torn ulnar collateral ligament. He exited yesterday's Pitman High game after injuring himself while throwing a pitch. The original diagnosis said Johnson would be out 13-14 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer. "He's done," his manager commented at the BNN press conference. "It's a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It's not the worst-case scenario, so we're happy about that."
So far this year, Johnson has made 6 starts, tossed 16.2 innings, struck out 11 batters and walked 18. His record is 0-0 with a 8.10 ERA and he has limited opposing teams to a .286 batting average.
