Red-Hot Merrill Cools Off Daytona
Monday, July 4th, 2061
The Charlotte Stone Crabs did little to support starter Ian Merrill against the Daytona Tortugas, but it turned out he didn't need the help.
The right-hander spun a complete game shutout against the Tortugas, striking out 7 and surrendering 6 hits. The performance from Merrill allowed Charlotte to escape with the 3-0 win despite an anemic offense.
"Nobody came to me and said 'Ian, we're gonna need you to win this one for us today,' but I could feel it," Merrill told BNN reporters following the win. "I'm the guy that will step up for you when you need it."
Over the season Merrill has thrown 34.2 innings and dished out 22 strikeouts with a 2-2 mark and a 4.15 ERA.
