Long Island Shuts Out Charleston, 5-0 Monday, September 13th , 2060 Ken Harding of the Long Island Lighthouse was on top of his game. The 23-year-old tantalized the Charleston Battery with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 5-0. "He had the changeup working," Charleston manager Matt Hunt said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower." The Long Island hurler had 5 strikeouts, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 4 hits in his complete-game effort. Harding 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. On his stats sheet this season, Harding shows a 8-1 record, 15 starts, 111 innings, 117 strikeouts and a 2.43 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
