Morand Spins 15-K Game Friday, July 1st , 2050 Everything was working for Mamadou Morand today at Area 51. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The slider was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 21-year-old Morand fanned 15 Capitals and sparked the Roswell Invaders to a 4-1 victory over Victoria. He left Capitals 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 Roswell manager Luis Balderas. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 8 innings, Morand allowed 1 hit and no walks in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Morand said with a smile. This year Morand is 7-and-1 with no saves and a 1.83 ERA. He has given up 36 hits in 69 innings with 90 strikeouts. |
