| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, July 18th, 2029: Monorails(SI) Whitewash Hares, Whitchurch Winner
Jerome Whitchurch was on top of his game today. He tantalized the Hanover Hares with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest and came away with a shutout. In the postgame comments, the Hanover skipper said, "He had the changeup working. You knew it was coming, and you still grounded out--and then he threw it even slower."
The North Haverbrook hurler had 5 strikeouts, gave up 1 walks, and surrendered 4 base hits in his route-going effort. Whitchurch told reporters after the game, "To be successful in this league, you have to keep the ball down. If you don't, they'll make you pay."
Whitchurch appears to be unfazed by the hype surrounding him. 2029 has been a good one for him. This young 25-year-old has made 22 starts, thrown 166.1 innings, fanned 123 batters and walked 35. His record is 12 wins and 8 losses with a 2.06 ERA, and opposing hitters have compiled a .196 against him.
