PALMER — Mat-Su got another strong pitching performance Tuesday as four Miners pitchers combined for a three-hit shutout of the San Francisco Seals at Hermon Brothers Field in Palmer.
Through the first four games of the season — all wins — the Mat-Su pitching staff has given up just eight runs.
Mat-Su first baseman Troy Scott had two RBI in Tuesday’s 3-0 win, while leadoff hitter John Shaffer scored twice and stole a base.
Miners starter Thain Simon struck out six hitters in his six innings of work, giving up just two hits and walking one. Reliever David Rowse gave up one hit in the seventh inning, Jeremy Atkins worked a perfect eighth and Michael Rocha struck out two in the ninth to earn his second save of the season.
The Miners face the Athletes in Action Fire Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Hermon Brothers.
