Tolbert Befuddles Mercer Island in 4-0 Gwinnett Win: There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching.
Tyrone Tolbert of the Gwinnett Guinea Pigs blanked the Mercer Island Screaming Eagles, 4-0, at Experimental Stadium today, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 3-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles.
"I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," Tolbert said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."
Tolbert walked 2 and struck out 5 in the victory.
"He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Screaming Eagles manager Ricardo Vargas said later.
In 11 starts this season Tolbert has gathered 6 wins while suffering 2 losses. He has pitched 75.2 innings, allowed 54 hits, struck out 52 and has a 2.74 ERA.
