Lucas: Big Game Luke

Posted Jun 20, 2007

Because of Carolina's well-documented starting pitching problems, the outstanding performance went down like a Zesto's peanut butter-and-chocolate milkshake (which is to say, delightfully). Over seven innings, Putkonen allowed just half the number of hits that Rice piled up in the disastrous second inning alone Sunday night. His curve seemed to sharpen as the game progressed, and he used it effectively in all counts and all situations. (Tar Heel Blue)
