 | 200 Wins for Devils Abbott Thursday, October 7th, 2083: What would you do after you had just won your 200th game? Run around Devil's Grip doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not Luke Abbott -- that's not his way. After he notched number 200, the 38-year-old Georgia hurler spoke to the press like he always has -- in a soft, quiet voice. He wasn't doing any cartwheels or even anything resembling a jump for joy. "Obviously it feels very good," Abbott commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help." Abbott got his milestone victory by beating the Apex Assassins 10-5. He held them to 7 hits in 7 innings and rung up 7 strikeouts with 1 walk. After sharing his thoughts with the press, he went to the clubhouse. There he was greeted by the guys who had helped him get #200. His teammates showered him with champagne and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, Abbott's face broke into a big smile. In his career Abbott has chalked up an ERA of 3.67. His won-loss record stands at 200-155. |
