| Ayers in Fine Form in 2-1 Win | Bulldog Ayers, who is tied for 10th in the IA in quality starts with 11, never let the Brahmins get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his curveball, to pitch the Pilots to a win, 2-1. St. Louis, at 42-13, is cruising.
Ayers, who is tied for 10th in the IA in strikeouts with 43, pitched a complete game for St. Louis. Ayers surrendered 4 hits over 9 innings and struck out 3. With the win, he moves to 11-3 on the season.
"I felt good. I felt like I was locating the ball well and I was able to keep them off-balance," said Ayers.
