Thursday, May 26th , 2044
The Tacoma Rainiers had no answer today for Round Rock Express pitcher Danny Walker. They failed to score a single run against him, losing 5-0. Tacoma managed only 3 hits off Walker, who had 5 strikeouts.
The extraordinarily popular Walker got a standing ovation from the hometown crowd as he left the field, the applause continuing until he returned from the dugout to tip his cap to the crowd.
"Express fans are the best fans, in my opinion," he said. "It's a great feeling to throw a shutout under any circumstances but to do it with the crowd behind you like that is just incredible."
Checking out his stats for the season, Walker has registered 3 wins and 2 losses in 7 starts, 3.86 ERA and struck out 25 batters in 46.2 innings.
