Governors Shut Out Canadiens, Rector Winner
Saturday, May 22nd , 2021
There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching.
Matt Rector of the Little Rock Governors blanked the Montreal Canadiens, 4-0, at Ballpark of Newport News, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 5-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles.
"I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," Rector said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."
Rector walked 6 and struck out 2 in the victory.
"He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Canadiens manager said later.
To date this season, Rector has a record of 1 win and 3 losses and a 3.63 ERA. He has appeared in 8 games and struck out 43 in 52 innings.
