The rich tradition of Alameda baseball was on display at Oracle Park on Monday night, as Alameda High School graduate Bryan Woo was on the mound against the San Francisco Giants.
He started the game with a 95-mph fastball blown right by Giants leadoff man LaMonte Wade Jr. It set the tone for a strong night from Woo, who fired a steady dose of mid-90s heaters to go with the occasional off-speed pitches as he tossed six innings, allowing just two runs on three hits and two walks, striking out seven.In the bottom of the fourth inning, Woo walked Michael Conforto to start the inning, recorded two quick outs and then went ahead 1-2 on Blake Sabol.
The 6-foot-4, 225-pound catcher kept his hands inside and walloped it 407 feet over the center-field wall for a two-run shot that temporarily put the Giants ahead, 2-1.Since allowing six earned runs in his big league debut on June 3, Woo has a 2.70 ERA with 35 strikeouts in 26 2/3 innings.
