Falcons Squelch Generals Offense in Shutout Win
The Karachi Falcons used a great performance from Yoshinori Matsushita, who finished 4th in the ABL in innings pitched with 233.2 in 2150, to beat the Rome Generals, 3-0, at The Colosseum. Matsushita yielded no runs over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 2 hits, walked 6, and struck out 6. His record improves to 8-9. Phillipp Wolfensberger picked up the save for Karachi, his 2nd of the year.

The outcome was still in doubt with two out in the bottom of the fifth inning, but Matsushita was able to pitch out of a jam. With runners on 1st and 2nd and Rome trailing 2-0, Matsushita retired Walter Cole, who lined out.

Karachi, at 45-49, sits in third place in the Intercontinental Baseball League Asian Division.
