Ashley Razor-Sharp, Shuts Out Carolina
The Carolina Mudcats manager was philosophical in the clubhouse following a shutout loss to the Lynchburg Hillcats. The Mudcats were overpowered by Lynchburg starter Walt Ashley, who hurled his club to victory, 4-0.

"It was just one of those games -- shake it off and do better next time," John Cornely said.

Over 9 innings, Ashley blanked Carolina on 6 hits with no walks and 9 strikeouts.

"I kept them off balance. I could tell a lot of them were late on fastballs because they were fouling them off. Once you see that, it sets them up for other pitches," Ashley said.

"I set them up, where if they chased one breaking ball, they were going to chase another one."

This year, Ashley has posted a 6-3 mark in 11 starts and has a 2.74 ERA.
