Kerklaan Baffles Dayton Batters
In a seemingly effortless performance, Marcus Kerklaan of the South Bend Cubs shot down the Dayton Dragons, 5-0, on 7 hits.

"Marcus was just locating so well and using his pitches," South Bend manager Mike Brumley said later. "He wasn't leaving anything over the plate."

Kerklaan recorded 10 strikeouts and 1 walk in a strong outing.

"When he needed to make pitches, he elevated his game," Dayton manager Manny Amador said in postgame comments to BNN. "We couldn't get a key hit off him."

To date this year, Kerklaan shows a 5-5 record, 11 starts, 78.1 innings, 63 strikeouts and a 4.14 ERA.
