[Husker] Shane Komine's Big Day

[Mark J Norris]

Shane Komine had a decent first game pitching in the bigs for the 
Oakland A's, going 6 innings. After a rocky start - Reed Johnson hit 
his second pitch into the left field bleachers - Komine settled down 
and at one point retired 9 batters in a row. 

Then in the 6th after 2 walks and a hit the bases were loaded with 
one out, he got out of the jam by retiring the next two.

He was a little wild with 4 walks and one strike out, and after 6 had 
99 pitches 53 for strikes and 46 for balls, before giving way to set 
up man Chad Gaudin with a 2-1 lead. Shane now owns a 1.50 ERA.
