Matsushima Skunks Mmabatho, 6-0
In an impressive outing, Susumu Matsushima blanked the Mmabatho Blues 6-0.

"I'm getting a lot more downward movement instead of side to side. That side-to-side stuff can get hit a long way," said Matsushima, who is throwing with more of an overhand motion.

"It's not rocket science. It was just a little adjustment, but that's all it took."

The Cofimvaba hurler held Mmabatho scoreless, allowed 6 hits, chalked up 7 strikeouts and yielded no walks.

So far this year Matsushima has 3 wins and 1 loss and a 1.95 ERA.
