| Breaking News |  | Friday, August 10th, 2029: Pittsburgh Whitewashes Monument, Newton Wins It
Before the game Kim Newton liked his chances, and his instincts proved to be right. In a superb outing, the Squids pitcher whitewashed the Monument Swans. Newton said in the clubhouse afterward, "I just had a feeling it was going to be my day. My control was awesome. I could throw my curveball even when I was behind in the count." The Pittsburgh twirler held Monument scoreless, gave up 1 hits, struck out 4, and issued 2 bases on balls.
"We didn't have very many good at bats," the Swans manager said in his postgame interview. "When that happens, you usually lose."
In 2029 Newton has registered 11 wins and 9 losses and pitched 157.2 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .208 against the Pittsburgh starter. He also has 63 strikeouts under his belt.
