250 Wins for Rum Runners Williams: What would you do after you had just won your 250th game? Run around Krono Field doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not Paul Williams -- that's not his way.
After he notched number 250, the 41-year-old Orlando hurler spoke to the press like he always has -- in a soft, quiet voice. He wasn't doing any cartwheels or even anything resembling a jump for joy. "Obviously it feels very good," Williams commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help." Williams got his milestone victory by beating the Atlantic City Aces 6-0. He held them to 6 hits in 8 innings and rung up 11 strikeouts with 2 walks. After sharing his thoughts with the press, he went to the clubhouse. There he was greeted by the guys who had helped him get #250. His teammates drenched him and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, Williams's face broke into a big smile. In his career Williams has crafted a 250-137 record with a 2.95 ERA in 3546.2 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .234 against him and he has rung up 3544 strikeouts. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
