Boston Rebels pitcher Sadie McMahon put on a clinic today, baffling the Baltimore Barons with his mix of curves and changeups in a 3-0 shutout. McMahon allowed 4 hits, 4 walks, and struck out 4 in a complete-game effort.

"He had the changeup working," said Baltimore manager Roberto Mandujano. "You knew it was coming and still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."

McMahon credited his success to keeping the ball low. "If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he told reporters.

The 23-year-old pitcher has a 7-4 record this season with a 3.45 ERA in 12 starts.
