"the Zirkle Express" has arrived in Longview

Last night the Femme Fatales took on the Colt .45's to complete their first series of the season. It turned out to be a great game with excellent pitching by both teams. The .45's won 3-0 on a couple of walks and a few timely hits.
The Femme Fatales started their captain Laura Marcil. In just her second game pitching she showed great control of a nasty curve. She was replace in the second due to innings pitched in the series. Jaime Wright, who had not pitched in league action before, came in to relieve her. She went on to strike out six while showing good control.
As good as the Fatales pitchers were, Luke Zirkle was even better for the Colt .45's. The Yakima native only threw his blazing fastball a couple of times but mixed speeds and locations well on his other pitches. He allowed three hits, walked one and fanned eleven. It was one of the most dominant debuts in league history by a pitcher.
