Brown Tosses Shutout Sunday, September 13th, 2020 "That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," the Bowties manager told reporters after today's game. The Corkscrews ran into a buzzsaw as Kirby Brown cut them down to size 9-0 with a 6-hit shutout. His skipper added, "He knows exactly what he's doing. He's not going to throw you a good pitch until you make him throw one." In the complete game whitewash the Buckhead hurler doled out 2 walks and registered 6 strikeouts. In the postgame press conference his catcher said, "Kirby goes out there and just goes about his business. I don't think he gets too concerned about what's going on. You can call any pitch and you know where he's going to be." Brown also got some praise from the Champaign manager. "He really kept us in check today. Everything looked to be moving. Seemed like the pitch was right down the middle and it went over down and away... we took some pathetic swings." To date this year, Brown shows a 9-7 record, 20 starts, 158.1 innings, 118 strikeouts and a 3.13 ERA. |
