Tom Sweeney Blanks Buffalo, 9-0
Tom Sweeney was in a mood to talk following the Hartford Colts contest against the Buffalo Lake Captains, expounding to BNN reporters on his pitching philosophy. He had good reason to be excitable, having tossed a complete game shutout of the Lake Captains, 9-0.

"There are three important elements in pitching success: location, location, and location," Sweeney said. "I was hitting my spots time and time again."

The right-hander blanked Buffalo on a 2-hitter, allowing 4 walks and racking up 6 strikeouts.

To date Sweeney has chalked up a .500 average with no home runs, driven in 3 runs and scored 5 times.
