Super Mound Work Earns Best Player Award
The premier player in the Southern League last week was Luis Tiant. He piled up some out-of-sight stats to win the Player of the Week trophy. In 2 games started, the Charlotte pitcher fashioned 2 wins.
Tiant had a 2-0 won-lost mark and a 0.00 ERA to outplay all would-be challengers in the league.
Tiant at His Best, Blanks Columbus
In an outstanding mound performance, Charlotte Hornets starter Luis Tiant fired a complete-game shutout against the Columbus Astros at Golden Park.
Tiant was the key to the 12-0 Charlotte win. The 29-year-old right-hander was in high spirits for much of the game, his mood largely unfazed by the 4 hits and no walks he allowed.
"4 hits?" he said with a laugh following the game. "Listen, I'd be happy with a 30-hitter, as long as it was a shutout."
