Donovan Whiffs 20, Montana State Tops UC Davis:
Everything was working for Bill Donovan today at Bozeman Ballpark. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working.
In an unforgettable performance, the 24-year-old Donovan fanned 20 Aggies and sparked the Montana State Bobcats to a 7-1 victory over UC Davis. He left Aggies hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it.
"I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Montana State manager Nick Miller. "His location and command were really something."
In addition to collecting 20 strikeouts over 9 innings, Donovan allowed 4 hits and 1 walk in a superlative outing.
"I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Donovan said with a smile.
For the year Donovan has a 3-0 record with a 1.66 ERA in 6 starts.
