In an impressive mound performance, Justin Facer of the South Beach Sunburn checked the Falls Church Frenzy on a 5-hitter and held them scoreless.
"He was getting ahead of us and keeping the ball off the plate," said the Falls Church manager. "Facer kept us confused the whole game."
The South Beach hurler rang up 10 strikeouts and issued 1 walk in his 4-0 shutout victory.
In 33 starts this season Facer has registered a 21-9 record and a 2.47 ERA.

 | Saturday, September 20th, 1980: Un-four-gettable: Troiano Hits for Cycle
South Beach's Dallas Troiano accomplished what few others have been able to do -- he hit for the cycle. In baseball, a player hits for the cycle when he hits a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game, though not necessarily in that order. Collecting the hits in that order is known as a "natural cycle."
For the day he finished 4-5 with 1 RBI and 3 runs scored and helped his Sunburn knock off the Homer Yetis 9-1 at Bayfront Park. In the postgame press conference he said, "I didn't even know I had hit for the cycle until after the game."
D. Troiano singled in the 2nd, tripled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off T. Reese in the 7th and doubled in the 8th.
Currently Troiano has 48 home runs and a .301 batting average.
