ACB Championship Game 1 Victory for bin Nadhir and Washington
|
Facing elimination, the Washington Grays were looking for a savior. For today, at least, Bashshar bin Nadhir delivered.
At Grays Ballpark, the 27-year old pitched a game for the ages to fend off the Phoenix Firebirds and help the Grays close their deficit in the ACB Championship. bin Nadhir threw a 9-inning, complete-game shutout in the 5-0 Washington win, striking out 8 and allowing 5 hits. The Grays how trail - in the best-of- series.
bin Nadhir was in the zone all game. He frustrated Phoenix hitters while giving the Grays 9 innings of quality work. bin Nadhir threw 118 pitches, allowing 5 hits and getting 8 punchouts.
bin Nadhir told a Washington Bulletin reporter that he was "pleased as punch" with the win.
Game 3 is set to be played Wednesday, September 20th, 1978 at Firebirds Ballpark in Phoenix. The scheduled starters for the game are Sinclair Overbeek for Washington and Sebastian Niculescu for Phoenix.
