Pierce at His Best, Blanks Twin Cities
Magic was in the air and on the mound at Queens Field, as Jon Pierce held the Twin Cities Northmen spellbound in his 3-0 shutout victory. The New York Empires pitcher went the distance, rang up 7 strikeouts, walked 1, and held the Northmen to 4 hits.

"He just had us in his thrall," Twin Cities manager Jason Gudim said. "We couldn't put anything together against him."

Pierce has started 8 times this year, pitched 66 innings, fanned 40 batters and walked 21. His current record is 5 wins and 2 losses with a 2.32 ERA.
