Living up to the hype

The Baltimore Sun

It's easy to see why so many people in the Orioles' organization, especially director of scouting Joe Jordan, were so excited about landing pitcher Timothy Bascom in the fourth round of last month's amateur draft.

Bascom held Hickory to one run over seven inning yesterday in Single-A Delmarva's 4-3, 11-inning loss. He allowed four hits and struck out three.

In five starts, Bascom has surrendered only six earned runs and 19 hits in 30 1/3 innings.

The Orioles didn't have selections in the second or third rounds, so Bascom represented their second pick in the draft.
