Stephens Razor-Sharp, Shuts Out Staten Island
Today was Brian Stephens's turn in the rotation for the West Virginia Black Bears and he made the most of it, shutting out the Staten Island Yankees on 5 hits.

The 22-year-old left-hander led the Black Bears to an easy 9-0 victory, allowing 3 walks and tallying 8 strikeouts.

"I hope we miss him next time," Staten Island manager Steve Chase said. "Stephens certainly pitched a strong game against us today. He was in a groove, throwing everything for strikes. Throwing hard. Changing speeds."

In 7 starts this year, Stephens has recorded a 4-0 record and a 2.15 ERA.
