Perkins, on Top of His Game, Beats Florida, 3-0 Tuesday, August 23rd , 2067 Brent Perkins of the El Paso Klondikes was on top of his game today. The 19-year-old tantalized the Florida Fire Frogs with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest and came away with a 3-0 shutout. "He had the changeup working," Florida manager said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower." The El Paso hurler had 4 strikeouts, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 3 hits in his complete-game effort. Perkins told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league." "If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said. On his stats sheet this season Perkins shows a 4-5 record, 12 starts, 74.1 innings, 51 strikeouts and a 4.48 ERA. View Boxscore |
