Timberwolves Get Zilch in 5-0 Loss to Fisherman, Neretin Saturday, June 15th , 2047 Shurik Neretin of the Kinsale Fisherman was on top of his game. The 35-year-old tantalized the Prudenville Timberwolves with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 5-0. "He had the changeup working," Prudenville manager Batista Aoyagi said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower." The Kinsale hurler had 7 strikeouts, gave up no walks and surrendered 1 hit in his complete-game effort. Neretin 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. This year, Neretin has worked 84.2 innings with 70 strikeouts en route to a 4-7 record and a 4.57 ERA. View Boxscore |
