Tuesday was a good day for Dan Leatherman and his Hagerstown Suns. The Class “A” affiliate of the Washington Nationals won both ends of a double header to improve its overall record to 32-32. In the first game, the Suns were trailing 3-0, but scored 4 runs in the final inning to steal a win. The second game was much of the same, with the Lakewood BlueClaws jumping out to a 2-0 lead. Between the fourth and fifth inning, the Suns rallied to score 5 runs. Dan Leatherman recorded his first save of the year. He pitched 2 innings of shutout ball, striking out 4 batters and not giving up a single hit or walk in the process.
Leatherman’s ERA has dropped to a team leading 1.69. In 5 games and 10.2 innings pitched, Dan has not walked any batters and has racked up 16 strikeouts. The opposition is only batting .143 when Dan is on the mound.

Dan congrats on the pitching performance. That article must be wrong because my team said there is no way you do not have any walks in that game unless they do not count HBP as walks. Ha Keep up the great job. You deserve it.
