The Nationals lost the game 1-0 and spoiled an amazing pitching performance from the Wisconsin native.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLess than a month later, 2014 Express pitching sensation and now 2015 returner CJ Eldred pitched a 78-pitch complete game gem of his own in Waterloo, IA, leading the Express to a 6-1 victory over the Bucks on July 3<sup>rd<\/sup>. Eldred&rsquo;s command was on point as he painted corners and controlled all of his pitches perfectly throwing a whopping 58 of his 78 pitches for strikes.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhat may be most remarkable about Eldred&rsquo;s performance was that Bucks batters befuddled by Eldred as he consistently forced Waterloo to hit into weak ground balls and lazy popups. In fact, Eldred commanded his pitches so well that he threw only eight pitches in the third inning, eight pitches in the fourth, seven pitches in the fifth, eight pitches in the sixth, four pitches in the seventh, and five pitches in the eighth.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MUG9GhupjIg\">Click here<\/a> to view the final out of this notable pitching performance by CJ Eldred.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEldred will now bring that experience, control, and dominance back to Carson Park for the 2015 season as one of the returning players for the Express.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tCongratulations to CJ Eldred for having the #2 Top Moment of the Express 2014 season with his 78-pitch gem in Waterloo.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe top moment of the 2014 season is almost here!
