Batista Fashions Shutout Against Mavericks Wednesday, July 3rd , 2058 The Montreal Mavericks had no answer today for Bend Bandits pitcher Eddie Batista. They failed to score a single run against him, losing 5-0. Montreal managed only 9 hits off Batista, who had 6 strikeouts. The extraordinarily popular Batista got a standing ovation from the hometown crowd as he left the field, the applause continuing until he returned from the dugout to tip his cap to the crowd. "Bandits fans are the best fans, in my opinion," he said. "It's a great feeling to throw a shutout under any circumstances but to do it with the crowd behind you like that is just incredible." So far this year Batista has 10 wins and 5 losses and a 3.05 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
