Indians Walshe Strikes out 16 Sunday, May 17th , 2048 Everything was working for Victor Walshe today at Avista Stadium. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The curveball was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 34-year-old Walshe fanned 16 ValleyCats and sparked the Spokane Indians to a 8-2 victory over Tri-City. He left ValleyCats 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 Spokane manager Gabe Reyes. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 16 strikeouts over 8.2 innings, Walshe allowed 4 hits and no walks in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Walshe said with a smile. On his stats sheet for the year Walshe shows a 7-0 record, 9 starts, 63.1 innings, 81 strikeouts and a 2.13 ERA. |
