Rattlers Hernandez Strikes out 17 Red Aces
Monday, September 6th, 2021
Everything was working for Elieser Hernandez today at Ballpark of North Haven. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working.
In an unforgettable performance, the 26-year-old Hernandez fanned 17 Red Aces and sparked the Worcester Rattlers to a 5-0 victory over North Haven. He left Red Aces 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 Worcester manager Buddy Carlyle. "His location and command were really something."
In addition to collecting 17 strikeouts over 7.1 innings, Hernandez allowed 1 hit and 2 walks in a superlative outing.
"I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Hernandez said with a smile.
This year Hernandez has worked 149 innings with 205 strikeouts en route to a 8-9 record and a 3.26 ERA.
