Neely Skunks Omaha, 1-0 Wednesday, June 5th , 2047 Johnny Neely of the Harrisburg Senators was on top of his game. The 24-year-old tantalized the Omaha Steaks with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 1-0. "He had the changeup working," Omaha manager Jared Holt said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower." The Harrisburg hurler had 4 strikeouts, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 4 hits in his complete-game effort. Neely 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, Neely has a 3-2 record with a 2.34 ERA. View Boxscore |
