Mercado Holds Capitals Scoreless
There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching.

Ricardo Mercado of the Vacaville Steelheads blanked the Ottawa Capitals, 4-0, at Ballpark of Vacaville, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 4-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles.

"I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," Mercado said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."

Mercado walked 1 and struck out 7 in the victory.

"He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Capitals manager Mike House said later.

For the season, Mercado has compiled a 5-3 record with a 3.29 ERA.
