Spuds Turner Earns 200th Win Saturday, April 21st , 2063 What would you do after you had just won your 200th game? Run around F. Nephi Grigg Memorial Stadium doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not Thomas Turner -- that's not his way. After he notched number 200, the 38-year-old Boise 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," Turner commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help." Turner got his milestone victory by beating the Las Vegas Hustlers 3-1. He held them to 5 hits in 8 innings and rung up 4 strikeouts with 2 walks. 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 drenched him and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, Turner's face broke into a big smile. Over his entire career Turner has worked 3150 innings with 2245 strikeouts en route to a 200-157 record. The 38-year-old also has a 3.82 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
