Ayers Struts Stuff in Win Over Baltimore
Bulldog Ayers led the St. Louis Pilots to a shutout victory, 6-0, over the Baltimore Bannermen at Banner Field.

"My pitching coach told me before the game just to bear down and focus," Ayers recalled later. "He said no one was going to hit me if I'm throwing a good breaking ball with good location."

Ayers yielded 4 hits and had 4 strikeouts and 1 walk in the standout performance.

"I thought he put the ball where he wanted to," Baltimore manager said. "And that's just about the whole secret to pitching."

This season, Ayers has registered 21 wins and 7 losses in 28 starts with a 2.15 ERA.
