LONDON, Ontario -- Brett Gray struck out a Frontier League-record 25 in the London Werewolves' 9-1 victory over the Chillicothe Paints on Saturday night.
Gray, 33, twice struck out four in an inning and allowed three
hits and one walk in the complete game -- the Werewolves' home
opener.
The independent league's previous record for a nine-inning game
was 16 strikeouts.
Gray, a right-hander from Wyoming, Ontario, struck out Greg
Strickland, Mick Celli and Chance Melvin four times each.
Mike Cervenak homered off Gray in the seventh inning, and Jason
Baker had the other two hits for Chillicothe.
The major league record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game is
20, accomplished by Kerry Wood and twice by Roger Clemens.
