Behind Cespedes, Mobile Blanks Iceland, 4-0
The Iceland Aurora manager was philosophical in the clubhouse following a shutout loss to the Mobile Monsters. The Aurora were overpowered by Mobile starter Omar Cespedes, who hurled his club to victory, 4-0.

"It was just one of those games -- shake it off and do better next time," Dan Danielson said.

Over 9 innings, Cespedes blanked Iceland on 5 hits with 1 walk and 5 strikeouts.

"I kept them off balance. I could tell a lot of them were late on fastballs because they were fouling them off. Once you see that, it sets them up for other pitches," Cespedes said.

"I set them up, where if they chased one breaking ball, they were going to chase another one."

To date this season, Cespedes has compiled a 5-4 record with a 2.44 ERA in 10 starts.
