van Meel Twirls 2-0 Shutout for Spurs
<Christiaan van Meel:player#9094> of the <Texas Spurs:team#73> was on top of his game today.

The 36-year-old tantalized the <Arizona Vipers:team#6> with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest and came away with a 2-0 shutout.

"He had the changeup working," Arizona manager <Alex Cumana:manager#70> said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."

The <Texas:team#73> hurler had 6 strikeouts, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 2 hits in his complete-game effort.

van Meel told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league."

"If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said.

In 22 starts this season <van Meel:player#9094> has crafted a 9-5 record with a 3.90 ERA.
