Former Saints pitching ace, 25 year old ANTHONY SHUMAKER of Kokomo

Scheduled as the starting pitcher in game two of a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves
SHUMAKER pitched 8 complete innings... he was pulled for a pinch hitter with the Phils down 2 to 1.

SHUMAKER gave up only 5 hits, including the Braves only run through 7 innings
which was a 1st inning Homer... he recorded 5 strikeouts, but suffered the loss
as the Phillies went down 3 to 1 to Atlanta.

As TBS Superstation play by play announcer Pete Van Wieren stated..
"Shumaker showed great composure for a rookie in his pitching debut and is
still considered a prize prospect with 94 STRIKE OUTS in 116 innings of Triple-A ball".
