Pacific Coast League 04-06-2009 Home | | | Breaking News |  | Monday, April 6th, 2009: Week's #1 Player Honored by PCL Pacific Coast League pitchers tried and tried all week long to stop Nick Swisher, but to no avail.

|  | Sunday, April 5th, 2009: Humphries Records Shutout Against Tucson "He was too darn good for us today," grumbled the Tucson manager after his club suffered a 5-0 shutout at the hands of William Humphries of the Memphis Redbirds. He held the Tucson Sidewinders scoreless in a 5-hit whitewash.
Humphries was in a zone of his own most of the game and finished with 8 strikeouts and 3 walks in a strong outing.
In a postgame quote his own skipper added, "He pitched his butt off, had good velocity, good movement and had those guys off balance. William did a whale of a pitching job."

The Round Rock hurler scored a 1-0 shutout victory over the Sidewinders, stopping them on 2 hits. He rung up 9 strikeouts and gave up 1 walk in today's performance.
