Cox and bullpen shut out Fighting Artichokes

IOWA (AP) - Things were looking promising for the Fighting Artichokes as Doc Gooden took the ball with an 11-9 lead.

Gooden gave up two runs in the 5th and 4 runs in the sixth. Nothing too damaging. But the Artichokes failed to register a run after the fourth inning.

D.Cox gave up 0 runs, 5 hits, and struck out 3 in three innings of impressive work from the bump. J.Orosco and C.Shrld gave up no runs in relief to seal the victory for the first place Empire. The Empire win the season series over the Artichokes with one date remaining with them in week 15.

D.Cox made a strong statement in being one of the best pitchers in the league with his brilliant performance.

"Those guys over there in the dugout thought they had it wrapped up with the 11-9 lead in the 5th inning with Gooden coming in. We heard Gooden this, Gooden that all week.
It just gave us that much more inspiration to beat the Artichokes, we quickly harnessed the ways of the Force to beat those guys" said manager Darkside.

DaEvans hit two HR's for the Artichokes and now has 5 in his last two games.

Galactic Empire (6-2) (5-1), Fighting Artichokes (3-5) (1-5)
