Matthews Now 5-5 After Subduing Bears
Adam Matthews was outstanding against Traverse City. The right-hander, who is tied for 6th in the E-AA in quality starts with 8, had a slider that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Dread Kings 6-2 win. Steve Wright closed it out for his 1st save. At 39-34, the Dread Kings are currently third in the Eastern AA Southen Division.

In his 94-pitch effort, Matthews allowed no runs on 2 hits over 7 innings. He walked 2 and struck out 10.

"I felt good. I felt like I was locating the ball well and I was able to keep them off-balance," said Matthews.
