15-K Masterpiece for Shackleton Sunday, September 2nd , 2057 Everything was working for Andrew Shackleton today at Waterfront Park. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The knuckleball was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 24-year-old Shackleton fanned 15 Beavers and sparked the Dallas Texans to a 6-2 victory over Portland. He left Beavers 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 Dallas manager Gary Stoy. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 8 innings, Shackleton allowed 7 hits and 1 walk in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Shackleton said with a smile. This year in 19 starts, Shackleton has recorded 6 wins and absorbed 5 losses. He has pitched 134.1 innings, allowed 94 hits, struck out 196 and has a 2.41 ERA.
