Voodoos Hurler Named HALL's Best Starter Thursday, June 1st , 2062 Rutland Voodoos hurler Malik Cummings was rewarded today with the Hank Aaron Little League Pitcher of the Month honors. Cummings, 14, realizes that pitching isn't all about how hard you can throw, it's about accuracy and about picking yourself up even when you've had a run of bad luck. "I'd like to say I don't give them anything to hit," said the Rutland starter, "but that's not true. Every pitcher gives up a long ball now and then. Usually there's at least one mistake in each at-bat, but you've got to battle through your mistakes and build some positive momentum. The rest will fall into place." Things did fall into place for Cummings. In May he took the ball for 18.1 innings while notching 17 strikeouts, a 1.47 ERA and a 2-0 record. To date this year, in 11 starts, Cummings has crafted a 4-2 mark with a 3.96 ERA. |
