All of the baseball world's eyes were focused on the pitching debut of last year's No. 1 draft pick by the Washington Nationals in Stephen Strasburg on Sunday as his team, the Harrisburg Senators, a AA club, visited Altoona, whose roster contains former Northwestern State star Miles Durham.
Strasburg, who reported throwing in the upper 90s for most of his five innings of work, gave up four hits and four runs in the game. One of those hits came off the bat of Durham who pasted a line drive single up the middle to score a run.
Durham finished the day 2-for-4 at the plate and is hitting .308 for the Curve, a AA squad affiliated with the Pittsburgh Pirates and a member of the Eastern League.
Durham's Curve lost the game 6-4, but you can bet Miles' confidence jumped a few notches knowing that he can be successful against a future Major League star.
