Monday, August 1st, 2118
When the
Banana Sluggers skipper wrote
Sánchez on the lineup card, it was a bad omen for the opposition. Outing after outing in July he took command and usually got the win.
He dominated with a 4-0 mark and 2.43 ERA in 5 starts. The gifted Banana Sluggers star pitched 37 innings, fanned 32 and held opposing teams to a .252 average.
For his excellent mound work
Sánchez was named the CL Pitcher of the Month by the baseball writers.
Currently
Sánchez has a record of 10-7 with 114 strikeouts and 13 walks in 134.1 innings and a 3.82 ERA.
