| Breaking News |  | Thursday, September 3rd, 2054: Welch Guns Down Hurricanes
Marc Welch was downright nasty in pitching a 3-0 shutout against Key West. His splitter was diving, his slider was breaking and the Hurricanes were swinging and looking bad. In the solid 4-hit shutout the Fighters hurler chalked up 5 strikeouts and 2 walks in a strong outing.
"As the game went on, he got stronger," his manager said. "I thought he really turned it up a notch in the eighth and ninth and probably threw his best breaking balls in those two innings. They put a lot of balls in play early in the count because he was throwing strikes."
This season Welch has a 2-1 mark in 4 starts with a 2.58 ERA. He has given up 32 hits in 38.1 innings, struck out 24 and issued 9 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .224 batting average against him.
