Higgins Hurls Pine Island to Shutout Win
Lawrence Higgins of the Pine Island Dolphins was on top of his game.

The 22-year-old tantalized the Virginia Beach Whales with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 6-0.

"He had the changeup working," Virginia Beach manager Marv Bradford said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."

The Pine Island hurler had 9 strikeouts, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 6 hits in his complete-game effort.

Higgins told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league."

"If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said.
