Birmingham Beats Charleston 11-0, Mebane Ks 17 Sunday, August 30th , 2054 Everything was working for Matt Mebane at Townies Stadium. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 22-year-old Mebane fanned 17 Townies and sparked the 11-0 Birmingham Bulls victory over Charleston. He left Townies hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it. "I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Birmingham manager Cliff Wolfe. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 17 strikeouts over 8 innings, Mebane allowed 6 hits and no walks in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Mebane said with a smile. This season, Mebane has worked 125.2 innings with 137 strikeouts en route to a 7-5 record and a 4.37 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
