Pete Meegan Dominates as Saints Shut Out Captains 6-0
Pete Meegan delivered a stellar performance for the New York Saints today, shutting out the Louisville Captains on just three hits. The 27-year-old right-hander was in top form, leading the Saints to a comfortable 6-0 victory with a commanding presence on the mound.
Meegan allowed no walks and struck out four batters, keeping the Louisville lineup off-balance throughout the game. His mix of hard throws and effective changes in speed proved too much for the Captains to handle.
"I hope we miss him next time," Louisville manager Anthony McDaniel said after the game. "Meegan certainly pitched a strong game against us today. He was in a groove, throwing everything for strikes. Throwing hard. Changing speeds."
With this dominant outing, Meegan continues to solidify his reputation as a reliable force in the Saints' rotation.
