Mäkitie Pitches 7-0 Shutout Friday, September 18th , 2048 There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching. Sipi Mäkitie of the Mobile BayBears blanked the Jacksonville Suns, 7-0, at Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville today, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 1-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles. "I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," Mäkitie said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance." Mäkitie walked 1 and struck out 6 in the victory. "He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Suns manager Angel Gomez said later. Taking a look at his season, Mäkitie has made no relief appearances, recorded no saves and compiled a 19-8 won-lost mark and a 2.41 ERA. In pitching 202 innings, he has totaled 171 strikeouts and 40 walks. |
