Clean Start
Normally clean-shaven, Outlaw pitcher Steve Jones was hassled by a friend last night for showing the makings of a stubble on his face. Jones' explanation was simple.
"Just watch, it will be gone (Tuesday) night," he said. "I always wait for my starts to get rid of it."
Yes, Jones will take the mound tonight in the capper of this brief two-game series against the Orange County Flyers and look to thwart the Outlaws' current three-game slide. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound right-hander out of Elk Grove has been steady overall in his first season of professional baseball after lighting it up during spring training. He is yet to record his first victory after two starts, but his 2.31 earned-run average is tops among Outlaw starters.
