| Thursday, July 26th, 2029: Shepler Razor-Sharp, Shuts out King City
"Good pitching beats good hitting" is an old baseball adage. Well, good pitching also beats bad batting. In his postgame interview the King City manager said, "Robert Shepler made us look real bad today. He was outstanding. He was down in the zone with all four pitches. Everything was sinking." Shepler struck out 10, walked 4, and allowed only 3 hits as the Minneapolis Sea Dogs whitewashed the King City Scrappers.
Shepler has worked hard to get to here. This year the rookie hurler has compiled a 14-5 mark, 2.34 ERA, made 22 starting appearances, fanned 136 batters, issued 52 bases on balls, tossed 173 innings and held the opposition to a .169 batting average.
