Hoboken Loses Hashimoto for Year
The doctors have spoken and <Masuhiro Hashimoto:player#9096> of the <Hoboken Falcons:team#55> didn't like what he heard. The 22-year-old starting pitcher is almost certainly gone for the rest of the year and depending on his progress could miss some of next season as well. Hashimoto sustained his season-ending injury during the <Havre de Grace Ducks:team#41> game yesterday at Duck Pond. He had to leave the game because he hurt himself while throwing a pitch. Today the <Hoboken:team#55> medical staff reported <Hashimoto:player#9096> had a torn flexor tendon in his elbow and would be absent from the lineup for at least 14 months.

<Hashimoto:player#9096> has made 19 starts this season, posting 9 wins and 3 losses. Opposing clubs are batting .269 against him and he has 115 strikeouts in 95 innings with a 4.83 ERA.
