"He's got a bunch of different arm angles and his ball was really moving," said the Akron manager after watching Maurice Phillips of the New Orleans Mudbugs humiliate his club 2-0 in a fine 4-hit shutout.
"If I make good pitches, I'm going to get some outs," Phillips said after he befuddled the Black Knights. "I was making good pitches the entire game."
He whiffed 3 and walked 4 in the complete game effort.
In 34 starts this season Phillips has crafted a 11-17 record with a 4.24 ERA.

The Akron Black Knights will lose the services of reliever Bret Compton after he sustained a damaged meniscus while throwing a pitch in today's game against the Seattle Rainiers.
