15-K Masterpiece for Fernandez Sunday, January 10th, 1982 Everything was working for Sid Fernandez today at Doctors Ballpark. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 19-year-old Fernandez fanned 15 Locos and sparked the Merida Olas to a 4-1 victory over Acapulco. He left Locos hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it. "I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Merida manager . "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 9 innings, Fernandez allowed 3 hits and 6 walks in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Fernandez said with a smile. Presently Fernandez has a 4-2 mark in 9 starts with a 2.46 ERA. He has given up 61 hits in 87.2 innings, struck out 133 and issued 67 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .196 batting average against him. View Boxscore |
