 | Sunday, August 23rd, 2015: Spokane Beats Eugene 7-4, Campbell Ks 16
It was a very special game for Kevin Campbell today at Fairgrounds Recreational Park in Spokane. He had the perfect delivery. The good fastball. The nasty curve. The batters mumbling and muttering when they swung and missed. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it. In an unforgettable performance the 22-year-old Campbell fanned 16 strikeouts Emeralds and sparked the Spokane Indians to a 7-4 victory over Eugene.
His catcher commented, "I don't think I have seen him throw better. His location and command were really something."
In addition to his 16 strikeouts, Johnson allowed 6 hits and 1 walk in a superlative outing.
His manager added, "It's a manager's day off when you get pitching like that."
The Eugene skipper had no comment that was printable in the newspaper.
This season in no relief appearances Campbell has thrown 97.2 innings and collected no saves. His won-lost record is 8-0 with a 1.94 ERA.
