With K O'Reilly Sets New Mark
It was quite a dramatic scene. The Possums Ballpark fans on the edge of their seats, and <Shawn O'Reilly:player#5609> on the verge of setting a new league season record. The <Massachusetts:team#186> Possums ace winds, fires, and gets it -- strikeout number 161! That tops <Curt Romero:player#24>, who was the previous record holder. Talking with the press after the historic game, <O'Reilly:player#5609> told them, "Strikeouts are great, the new record is great, but I'll take winning the game over them anytime. Striking out ten batters and losing the game is not what it's all about."

So far in 23 appearances this season, <O'Reilly:player#5609> has recorded 8 wins and sustained 8 losses. He has pitched 144.2 innings, yielded 136 hits, fanned 161 and has a 4.42 ERA.
