Nashville Stymied by Harris | The Nashville Stones ran into a buzzsaw at Edgehill Field, as Atlanta Firebirds starter Fred Harris cut them down to size, 7-0, tossing a 3-hit shutout.
"That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," Firebirds manager Mark O'Doherty told reporters after the game. "Fred 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 win, the Atlanta hurler doled out 2 walks and registered 8 strikeouts.
This year, Harris has compiled a 7-10 mark with a 3.21 ERA. | |
