Wilbur Tames Rawhide 5-0, 15 Ks Friday, April 18th , 2110 Everything was working for Rob Wilbur at Historic Sam Lynn Ballpark. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The slider was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 21-year-old Wilbur fanned 15 Rawhide and sparked the 5-0 Bakersfield Blaze victory over Visalia. He left Rawhide hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it. "I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Bakersfield manager Jerry Zuniga. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 6.1 innings, Wilbur allowed 4 hits and no walks in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Wilbur said with a smile.
