| Astros Torpedoed by Bartson in 9-0 Loss to Sydney Sunday, September 4th, 2005 Charlie Bartson of the Sydney Blue Sox spun his magic on the Borman Astros today. He blanked them 9-0 on 6 hits, registering 10 strikeouts and no walks.
"The bottom line was I just kept the ball down," Bartson said. "My breaking stuff was down. Everything was down."
Talking to reporters in the postgame interview, Sydney skipper said the team "got solid pitching, good defense and took great team at-bats in a lot of different situations."
"Charlie pitched really well but this was a solid performance by everyone," he said.
This season Bartson has fanned 148 in 158.2 innings and collected a 12-1 record with a 2.95 ERA. | | |
