William Long put a hex on Madagascar in a sparkling 7-0 shutout performance, mesmerizing them on a 3-hit gem.
"I feel good physically," he said. "Everything's comfortable. You should pitch well when that's the case."
It was anything but comfortable for Madagascar.
"Long used his changeup very well, very effectively," the opposing manager said. "He threw it in hitter's counts."
The Santa Monica Superstars hurler fanned 2 and walked 1.

 | Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013: Márquez Belts Bunch of Base Hits
Lorenzo Márquez had an answer for everything Santa Monica threw him today at Devils Ballpark. In 5 at-bats he made good contact and 5 times he drilled the ball for a base hit.
The Tasmanian right fielder went 5 for 5 in the game to get his name in the record book. However, his great performance was not enough to produce a victory. His club, the Devils, took it on the chin 13-7 against the Superstars.
"I know you can't win 'em all," he said, "but it sure would have been nice to win this one. To get 5 hits and lose is just not the way it should be."
L. Márquez singled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off T. Gonzáles in the 9th.
Currently Márquez has 2 home runs and a .281 batting average.
