Takaoka Breezes to Shutout Victory
Saturday, August 13th, 2067
The Nanticoke Toreadors did little to support starter Hiroya Takaoka against the Hanyang Union, but it turned out he didn't need the help.

The left-hander spun a complete game shutout against the Union, striking out 4 and surrendering 3 hits. The performance from Takaoka allowed Nanticoke to escape with the 3-0 win despite an anemic offense.

"Nobody came to me and said 'Hiroya, we're gonna need you to win this one for us today,' but I could feel it," Takaoka told BNN reporters following the win. "I'm the guy that will step up for you when you need it."

This year Takaoka has a 9-3 mark in 16 starts with a 2.30 ERA. He has given up 71 hits in 97.2 innings, struck out 77 and issued 30 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .202 batting average against him.
