Becht Razor-Sharp, Shuts Out Seoul
Sunday, May 23rd , 1999
Mars Maniacs starter Noah Becht really did a number on the Seoul Suns, shutting them out, 5-0, on 5 hits in a complete game victory. He issued no walks and had 4 strikeouts.
"We didn't have good at-bats," said Seoul manager . "I don't make excuses, but when we were playing the game, our energy didn't show. That comes from either extremely good pitching or extremely lousy hitting and seeing as our team has a bunch of good hitters, I have to tip my cap to Becht."
