Essick was in a zone of his own most of the game and finished with 4 strikeouts and 5 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. Bill did a whale of a pitching job."
Looking at his season stats, Essick has won 12 and lost 9, collecting 92 strikeouts and 108 walks in 207 innings with a 2.78 ERA. |

"You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.
So far this year Magee has hit .312 with 2 home runs, 49 RBIs and 66 runs scored. |
