17 Ks for Kralick, Beats Columbus 10-1 Wednesday, August 22nd , 2001 Everything was working for Jack Kralick at Kauffman Stadium. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The curveball was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 25-year-old Kralick fanned 17 Blue Birds and sparked the 10-1 Norfolk Tides victory over Columbus. He left Blue Birds 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 Norfolk manager Ian Siebert. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 17 strikeouts over 9 innings, Kralick allowed 5 hits and 2 walks in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Kralick said with a smile. Checking out his stats for the season, Kralick has notched 12 wins and 6 losses in 18 starts. His ERA is 4.92 and he's struck out 138 batters in 131.2 innings. |
