Castaneda Silences Dayton , 5-0
Monday, July 17th , 2073
Emílio Castaneda of the Cabo San Lucas Van Hagars was on top of his game.

The 24-year-old tantalized the Dayton Diamonds with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 5-0.

"He had the changeup working," Dayton manager said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."

The Cabo San Lucas hurler had 7 strikeouts, gave up 3 walks and surrendered 9 hits in his complete-game effort.

Castaneda told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league."

"If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said.

This year, Castaneda has a 10-4 record with a 3.67 ERA.
