Darch Baffles St. Louis Batters
In a seemingly effortless performance, Paul Darch of the Cleveland Bobcats shot down the St. Louis Explorers, 7-0, on 6 hits.

"Paul was just locating so well and using his pitches," Cleveland manager Daniel Mays said later. "He wasn't leaving anything over the plate."

Darch recorded 6 strikeouts and 2 walks in a strong outing.

"When he needed to make pitches, he elevated his game," St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood said in postgame comments to BNN. "We couldn't get a key hit off him."

For this year, Darch has chalked up 5 wins and 4 losses in 9 starts with 32 strikeouts in 70.1 innings and a 4.09 ERA.
