Benjamin Spins Shutout Against Toledo
Mike Benjamin of the New Haven Tempest spun his magic on the Toledo Cheesepressers today. He blanked them 6-0 on 4 hits, registering 4 strikeouts and no walks.

"The bottom line was I just kept the ball down," Benjamin said. "My breaking stuff was down. Everything was down."

Talking to reporters in the postgame interview, New Haven skipper Brandon Eberle said the team "got solid pitching, good defense and took great team at-bats in a lot of different situations."

"Mike pitched really well but this was a solid performance by everyone," he said.

On the year Benjamin has worked 61.2 innings with 33 strikeouts en route to a 4-3 record and 3.21 ERA.
