 | Thursday, July 11th, 2013: Sevin Dominates Yippers in Shutout
He didn't put a spell on them. It wasn't black magic, it was just old-fashioned good pitching. That's how Francis Sevin of the Marietta Mammoths blanked the Brighton Beach Yippers 5-0.
After tossing a complete-game 4-hit shutout, he was all smiles, saying, "I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game. I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."
His own skipper said, "He's at his best when he gets ahead of the hitters." Sevin walked 3 and struck out 7 in the victory.
The Yippers manager commented on their lack of success against him, saying, "He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes."
In 21 starts this season Sevin has crafted a 11-4 record with a 3.38 ERA.
