 | Monday, May 29th, 1961: García Sticks it to GL Pitchers

 | Sunday, May 14th, 1961: Kawai Humbles Austin
Toru Kawai was stingy with runs in his latest outing against the Senators. He shut them out 3-0 on 3 hits with 2 strikeouts and 1 walk.
The Galveston manager said, "Toru was very aggressive tonight. He threw everything he had with a lot of confidence."
The losing manager had praise, too. "He was throwing strikes with all his pitches and mixing it up well. Kawai has a sneaky fastball, and whatever that offspeed pitch was, it was keeping our timing off."
Thus far this season, Kawai has worked 41 innings with 14 strikeouts en route to a 1-3 record and a 4.17 ERA. |
