Villalovas Beguiles Toronto: The Toronto Sting had no answer today for Tokorozawa Arsenal pitcher Enrico Villalovas. They failed to score a single run against him, losing 5-0. Toronto managed only 2 hits off Villalovas, who had 10 strikeouts.

"Arsenal fans are the best fans, in my opinion," he said. "It's a great feeling to throw a shutout under any circumstances but to do it with the crowd behind you like that is just incredible."
This season Villalovas has a 9-7 mark in 23 starts with a 2.80 ERA. He has given up 110 hits in 157.1 innings, struck out 168 and issued 41 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .194 batting average against him.
