Madden earns first save of year (Baseball)
August 21, 2011
He’s closed out games at every level of his baseball career, but tonight was the first time Corey Madden of Anchorage did it at the Triple-A level.
The 27-year-old reliever for the New Orleans Zephyrs got the final two outs in a wild 7-5 victory over Round Rock after his manager got ejected in the ninth inning.
It was his first save opportunity in 13 appearances this year with the Zephyrs, a Florida Marlins affiliate.
Madden, of East High fame, is 1-1 with a 3.32 ERA in 19 innings.
It was his 13th career save since turning pro in 2006.
