Recife Shuts Out Oakland, 5-0 Sunday, June 15th , 2132 There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching. Wen-zhong Cheng of the Recife Jaguars blanked the Oakland Stars, 5-0, at Stars Ballpark today, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 6-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles. "I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," Cheng said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance." Cheng walked 0 and struck out 3 in the victory. "He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Stars manager said later. This year Cheng has a 4-3 record with a 3.19 ERA. |
