Ontario pitcher shuts down Black Bears with three-hitter

by TED CLARKE and SCOTT STANFIELD Citizen staff
Evan Potskin’s round-trip journey down the basepaths at Spruce City Stadium wasn’t enough for the Prince George Black Bears.

They needed a long-ball merry-go-round to contend with the Jarvis Merchants.

“He kept mixing it up, throwing a lot of off-speed pitches and keeping us off-balance,” said Potskin, the Black Bears shortstop, who cranked the first pitch he saw in the seventh inning over the left field fence.

Wagar is not an overpowering pitcher, but his deliveries kept the Prince George batters baffled and swinging at air. That’s just the way he planned it.
