Sawtell Fashions Shutout Against Greensboro
It wasn't easy but the Columbia Fireflies made it look that way.

Starter Pat Sawtell shut out the Greensboro Grasshoppers despite having what he later called "sub-par" stuff, and the Columbia Fireflies cruised to victory, 5-0. Sawtell allowed only 4 hits and rang up 14 strikeouts but insisted later that he did not deserve primary credit for the win.

"It didn't feel quite right today, but I got a lot of help to get through," he said. "I trusted my catcher and the guys behind me bailed me out more than once when I screwed up."

On the season Sawtell has 4 wins and 2 losses and a 2.28 ERA.
