KISSIMMEE, FLA.: LHP
The Fire Frogs have now blanked the Threshers three straight times in the season series and the pitching staff hasn't allowed a run in its last 25 frames against Clearwater swingers. This was the 12th time Florida has shutout the opposition in 2019 and the first occasion since July 17 at Palm Beach.
Pfeifer got ahead of hitters all night, firing first-pitch strikes to 19 of the 24 batters he faced. He twirled seven shutout stanzas of three-hit baseball, surrendering just one walk and fanning eight Threshers while not factoring in the decision. Two of the hits he yielded were infield singles.
Hartman (1-5) bagged the final six outs, issuing just one free pass to pick up his first Advanced-A win.
In a game where there were a combined seven hits between the two teams, the one that went for extra-bases decided the contest.
Killgore (1-3) permitted a hit, two walks, and two earned runs in the eighth to take the loss.
