Richard Whiffs 16, Herndon HS Tops George C Marshall HS Friday, March 21st, 1980 Everything was working for Barry Richard today at Sox Ballpark. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The slider was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 14-year-old Richard fanned 16 Griffins and sparked the Herndon HS Hornets to a 11-3 victory over George C Marshall HS. He left Griffins hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it. "I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Herndon HS manager Baskin Upham. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 16 strikeouts over 9 innings, Richard allowed 10 hits and 5 walks in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Richard said with a smile. This year Richard has compiled a 4-2 mark with a 1.53 ERA in 6 starts. |
