Espinosa Tops Burlington, 6-5, for 200th Win Thursday, July 24th , 1913
History was made today at The Graveyard -- Atilano Espinosa won game #200 to seal his name in the league record books. The Barre ace downed the Burlington Lightermen 6-5 to gain entrance into the elite 200 Club.
"I was wound up at first. I think I threw too hard," remarked Espinosa, "I had to calm down and go out there and pitch... not just throw. I think I got better as the game wore on. I started to think less about 200 wins and more about doing what I had to do."
Lifetime Espinosa has notched 200 wins and 128 losses and compiled a 2.47 ERA.
