Matsushita Spins Gem for Karachi
Yoshinori Matsushita never let Melbourne get something going. The Karachi right-hander commanded his fastball in pitching the Falcons to a 5-0 win. Karachi, at 18-22, occupies 4th place in the Intercontinental Baseball League Asian Division.

Karachi starter Yoshinori Matsushita was exceptional. The 6-foot-1 right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit over 8 innings of work.

"We had a good game plan," Matsushita said, "and we were able to execute it."
