 | Friday, September 19th, 2008: Fargo Wins, Shuts Out Owls He didn't put a spell on them. It wasn't black magic, it was just old-fashioned good pitching. That's how Roberto Sparticello of the Fargo Bomb Dogs blanked the Bristol Owls 4-0.
After tossing a complete game 2-hit shutout, he was all smiles, saying, "I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game. I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."
His own skipper said, "He's at his best when he gets ahead of the hitters." Sparticello walked 2 and struck out 5 in the victory.
The Owls manager commented on their lack of success against him, saying, "He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes."
So far this season Sparticello has a record of 14-13 with 184 strikeouts and 81 walks in 223.2 innings and a 4.06 ERA. | |
