Harden Opens Tourney With A Shutout!!!!!

BOSTON @ HAMPTON GAME 1

Rich Harden allowed only 3 hits resulting in a big goose egg on the scoreboard

for Boston as the Hampton Black Spyders defeated the Boston Challengers 3 to

0 at Kauffman Stadium.

 

Harden(1-0) was on top of his game.  He was stingy on the mound, allowing just

3 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings.  Harden mowed down 12 Boston batters.  After

the 2nd inning, neither team was able to score.  

 

Jake Peavy(0-1) absorbed the loss.  Ray Alarcon was very impressed with his

pitcher, Harden, 'He had unusually good pitch placement this afternoon.  It

was almost unfair - but a beautiful game to watch from where I sat'
