D1 Opening Day Spotlight: Seattle Steelheads at Tijuana Potros, April 12, 2038
Razo makes history while Moon makes an entrance
The Seattle Steelheads have a lot of hope for this season, and if the first game is any indication that hope will be rewarded.
Hector Razo pitched a game for the ages today, breaking John Belhumeur's eight year old record for K's in a single game, setting down 16 Potros on strikes over a complete game two-hit victory.
Razo, a two-time Pitcher of the Year winner who last took home the trophy in 2034, barely missed the plate, walking only one as he gave his club their first win of the season.
Also making headlines was international free agent signing Ki-Chun Moon; the power-hitting South Korean export crushed two homers in his debut and walked twice while driving in half of Seattle's 8 runs. RF Mike Hood went 4-5 with two doubles and 1B Adam Haney went 2-5 with a homer as Seattle romped over the Potros.
For Tijuana, the lone positive was a homer by 3B Randy Wright, with DH Won-il Cho on third following a triple. Those were Tijuana's only hits of the day, coming in the first inning; a walk to Cho produced the only other baserunner the Potros were able to drum up against Razo.
