May's Top Hurler is Edwards
Thursday, June 1st, 2051
Havana Comrades hurler Don Edwards was rewarded today with the Frontier Pitcher of the Month honors. Edwards, 24, realizes that pitching isn't all about how hard you can throw, it's about accuracy and about picking yourself up even when you've had a run of bad luck.
"I'd like to say I don't give them anything to hit," said the Havana starter, "but that's not true. Every pitcher gives up a long ball now and then. Usually there's at least one mistake in each at-bat, but you've got to battle through your mistakes and build some positive momentum. The rest will fall into place."
Things did fall into place for Edwards. In May he took the ball for 37.1 innings while notching 46 strikeouts, a 2.17 ERA and a 4-0 record.
Currently Edwards has a record of 5-1 with 78 strikeouts and 32 walks in 70.1 innings and a 2.05 ERA.
