Olas Fernandez Fans 15 Capitales

Everything was working for Sid Fernandez today at Field of the City. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working.

In an unforgettable performance, the 19-year-old Fernandez fanned 15 Capitales and sparked the Merida Olas to a 5-2 victory over Panama City. He left Capitales 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 Merida manager . "His location and command were really something."

In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 9 innings, Fernandez allowed 9 hits and 4 walks in a superlative outing.

"I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Fernandez said with a smile.

On the year Fernandez has compiled a 2-2 mark with a 2.65 ERA.
