While the Crushers were busy knocking the baseball all around All Pro Freight Stadium, lefthanded starter Paul Fagan was turning in his typical workmanlike effort on the mound.
Fagan took the Frontier League lead with his ninth victory of the season, going six innings while allowing three runs on six hits in the Crushers' 15-4 win.
Fagan has established himself as one of the top pitchers in the league. He's not a flamethrower, topping out in the upper-80's and low-90's on occasion, but he works both sides of the plate, mixes speeds and keeps the ball down.
Crushers fans, enjoy Fagan while you can this season because next year the chances are outstanding that he will be back in affiliated ball. That's what the Frontier League is all about, giving talented players the chance to prove they belong in professional baseball. And Fagan has left no doubt.
