16 Ks for Lewis, Beats Sherwood HS 6-1 Sunday, March 31st, 1991 Everything was working for Joseph Lewis today at Lancers Ballpark. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 14-year-old Lewis fanned 16 Warriors and sparked the Robert E Lee HS Lancers to a 6-1 victory over Sherwood HS. He left Warriors 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 Robert E Lee HS manager Doug House. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 16 strikeouts over 9 innings, Lewis allowed 6 hits and 1 walk in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Lewis said with a smile. This year Lewis has a 6-1 mark in 7 starts with a 1.57 ERA. He has given up 33 hits in 57.1 innings, struck out 72 and issued 15 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .166 batting average against him. |
