Tal Takes Charge, Blanks Northwest Arkansas, 2-0
There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching.

Ogden Tal of the Springfield Cardinals blanked the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, 2-0, at Hammons Field today, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 5-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles.

"I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," Tal said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."

Tal walked 1 and struck out 10 in the victory.

"He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Naturals manager said later.

This year Tal has a 6-4 mark in 8 starts with a 4.27 ERA. He has given up 83 hits in 90.2 innings, struck out 93 and issued 28 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .243 batting average against him.
