Alfredo Figaro Strikes Out Eleven In Three Hit Shutout

by @ 3:15 pm. Filed under Alfredo Figaro, Mark McBratney, Roger Tomas, West Michigan White Caps - April 2008

Alfredo Figaro had one of the best starts of the season for the White Caps and he improved to an impressive 4-0 on the season.  He gave up just three hits with eleven strikeouts in the shutout win and his ERA is now down to a microscopic 0.46.  Opponents are hitting just .159 against him and if he continues at this pace, it’s not going to make a lot of sense keeping him down while he dominates Low-A hitting.

Roger Tomas had a pair of singles and a run in the 4-0 win.  Mark McBratney singled, tripled and scored a run.
