Gilbert Lose, 5-0, to Stingers, Kikuchi
Makoto Kikuchi of the Salt Lake Stingers was on top of his game.

The 21-year-old tantalized the Gilbert Bulldozers with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 5-0.

"He had the changeup working," Gilbert manager said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."

The Salt Lake hurler had 6 strikeouts, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 3 hits in his complete-game effort.

Kikuchi told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league."

"If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said.

His record this season is 3-1 in 6 starts and Kikuchi has a 2.36 ERA.
