 | Tuesday, September 11th, 2007: Three Lions Blank France, Wroot Winner
Jonathan Wroot was downright nasty in pitching a 4-0 shutout against France. His splitter was diving, his slider was breaking and the Les Bleus were swinging and looking bad. In the solid 5-hit shutout the Three Lions hurler chalked up 3 strikeouts and 2 walks in a strong outing.
"As the game went on, he got stronger," his manager said. "I thought he really turned it up a notch in the eighth and ninth and probably threw his best breaking balls in those two innings. They put a lot of balls in play early in the count because he was throwing strikes."
This season Wroot has compiled a 14-10 record with a 4.54 ERA.
