Chavez Humbles Hickory, 4-0
Jorge Chavez of the Columbia Fireflies was on top of his game.

The 23-year-old tantalized the Hickory Crawdads with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 4-0.

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

The Columbia hurler had 4 strikeouts, gave up 2 walks and surrendered 3 hits in his complete-game effort.

Chavez 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.

This year, Chavez has 5 wins and 1 loss and a 2.53 ERA.
