 | Saturday, August 25th, 2012: Varadero Wins, Blanks Seawolves
All went well for Hilama Peta of the Varadero Voladoras as he pitched his team to a 2-0 shutout victory over the Auckland Seawolves, limiting them to 3 hits while ringing up 10 strikeouts and surrendering no walks.
In the postgame interview, both managers had glowing things to say about Peta.
His manager described him this way: "He's got a good selection of pitches he can throw at a guy. He changes speed, gives different looks to different hitters. When he's on his game, he's quite a handful."
The Auckland skipper said, "He doesn't give you anything twice. It's a guessing game with him and today my club was always guessing wrong."
To date this season, Peta has a record of 2 wins and 2 losses and a 3.00 ERA. He has appeared in 5 games and struck out 21 in 33 innings.
