Aguilas Eliminate Knights on Scherzer Gem; Face Seals in Division Series
October 4, 2024
Seattle (UBAN) - Center fielder Jose Siri touched them all and had 3 RBI and Max Scherzer didn't allow a hit until the 9th inning at Knights Field as the Mexico City Aguilas Doradas beat the Seattle Knights 5 to 0 to advance to a Division Series date with the San Francisco Seals.
Scherzer(1-0) was simply too much for the Seattle batters. He allowed just 1 hit and 1 walk in 8 and 1/3 innings. Scherzer struckout 13 Seattle batters. The right-handed Scherzer had his no-hit bid broken up by Jorge Polanco who singled with one out in the 9th inning. Mexico City had a total of 7 hits for the game.
Johan Oviedo(0-1) was the losing pitcher. 'He was really impressive tonight,' Oviedo said of his counterpart. 'Our guys were just swinging at air.'
