ACB Championship Game 1 Victory for López and Washington
John López knew he couldn't win the series for the Washington Grays. Down -0, it would take a lot more than one start. The best he could do, he figured, was prevent a sweep and give the Grays Ballpark faithful a good time. Check and check.

The Washington left-hander threw a complete game shutout against the red-hot Phoenix Firebirds to get the Grays on the board in the series, striking out 7 along the way. The Grays will be looking to keep the momentum the next time the teams meet. With the 2-0 win, Washington now trails - in the best-of- series.

López allowed no earned runs on 1 hit over 9 innings for the Grays. He walked 1 and struck out 7.

López called the win "a collective effort."

Game 2 is scheduled for tomorrow at Grays Ballpark. Slated to start are Miguel Angel Gutiérrez for the Phoenix Firebirds and Bashshar bin Nadhir for the the Washington Grays.
