Olsen Shines, Shuts Out Rocky Mount, 2-0

William Olsen put a hex on the Rocky Mount Leafs in a sparkling 2-0 shutout performance, mesmerizing them on a 9-hit gem.

"I felt good physically," he said after the game. "Everything's comfortable. You should pitch well when that's the case."

The Leafs were anything but comfortable against the 21-year-old Kinston Eagles hurler, who fanned 8 and gave up 2 walks.

"Olsen used his changeup very well, very effectively," said opposing manager <Hedi Lacroix:coach#594>. "He threw it in hitter's counts."

This year, Olsen has a 3-4 record with a 3.43 ERA.
