Hey there TKP baseball fans, just passing along the good news that VT alum, Jesse Hahn, just pitched an outstanding game for the Oakland A's - a complete game, 4-hit shutout. Detroit is no slouch, a solid team in a strong AL Central division. Jesse was getting lots of love on Twitter from the VT baseball account.
Congrats to Jesse!

As a bonus fun fact, his game score of 83 is tied for 12th best so far this season among pitchers.

Awesome! Also cool to see Zach changed his Twitter handle to @SportyJonas
Is his nickname "Wild Thing" by chance?
Welp, it figures that'd happen the day after I dropped him from my fantasy team...... #doh!
Good to see Joe Saunders isn't the only VT Alum to make waves in MLB. Your turn now, Austin Wates.
Man, I didn't even realize Hahn was traded to the A's. I was hoping to see some of his games in SD.
Hahn has the tools for a nice career. He's going to have a lot of shut-outs by the time he retires.
To top it off, Hahn completed the shutout despite his defense giving up 3 errors.
