| Nagao Bewilders Stars, 2-0 | Vesutan Bees pitcher Niou Nagao blanked the Nagasaki Stars, 2-0, at Vesutan Stadium, tossing a 3-hitter while issuing 6 walks and collecting 10 strikeouts.
After his sharp shutout performance, he shared credit with the rest of the club.
"I was just locked in out there and some of that is due to having a catcher who has such a great feel for hitters," Nagao said. "I couldn't do what I did without all the guys out there today."
Looking at his season stats, Nagao has won 12 and lost 8, collecting 140 strikeouts and 108 walks in 212.2 innings with a 3.85 ERA. | |
