Parker Electric in 4-0 Win Friday, January 22nd , 2173 David Parker of the Vancouver Canadians was on top of his game. The 23-year-old tantalized the Williamsport Crosscutters with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 4-0. "He had the changeup working," Williamsport manager said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower." The Vancouver hurler had 11 strikeouts, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 3 hits in his complete-game effort. Parker 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. Over the season, Parker has made no relief appearances with no saves. He has K'd 91 batters in 69 innings, yielded 14 walks and has a 1.17 ERA. Parker's record this year is 6-1. |
