Payne Crafts 2-0 Shutout Monday, April 7th , 2053
It wasn't easy but the Central Valley Turkey Vultures made it look that way.
Starter Tim Payne shut out the Great Black Swamp Mud Hens despite having what he later called "sub-par" stuff, and the Central Valley Turkey Vultures cruised to victory, 2-0. Payne allowed only 1 hit and rang up 4 strikeouts but insisted later that he did not deserve primary credit for the win.
"It didn't feel quite right today, but I got a lot of help to get through," he said. "I trusted my catcher and the guys behind me bailed me out more than once when I screwed up."
