Ryals Brilliant, Fans 15 Tuesday, October 18th , 2044 Everything was working for Steve Ryals today at Burlington Athletic Stadium. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The curveball was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 23-year-old Ryals fanned 15 Astros and sparked the Burlington Royals to a 15-1 victory over Greeneville. He left Astros hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it. "I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Burlington manager Brent McMinn. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 6.2 innings, Ryals allowed 5 hits and no walks in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Ryals said with a smile. This year Ryals has a 5-23 record with a 6.96 ERA in 29 starts. |
