LHP Sean Newcomb threw six shutout innings Tuesday night as the Inland Empire 66ers blanked the Lake Elsinore Storm 5-0. Newcomb (6-1) is the Los Angeles Angels’ top organizational prospect per MLB.com and was the 15th overall pick in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft.
The 66ers got on the board in the third inning when Andrew Daniel doubled in a pair of runs, and that was all Newcomb and two relievers would need. The lefty allowed three hits and a walk while striking out eight over six innings. Harrison Cooney came on for two scoreless innings before Geoff Broussard closed it out with a perfect ninth inning.
