 Cooper Bate of the Colorado Springs Sky Sox toyed with the Oklahoma City Dodgers today, blanking them 6-0 at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. He was almost untouchable, baffling them on a 4-hit shutout with 11 strikeouts and 1 walk.
 
 "I'm sweating now because it's hot in here," Bate said in the clubhouse after the game. "But it didn't even feel like I was sweating out there."
