Spartans Not Competitive in 8-0 Loss to Cleveland
In a seemingly effortless performance, Ezra Runkle of the Cleveland Bears shot down the Detroit Spartans, 8-0, on 7 hits.

"Ezra was just locating so well and using his pitches," Cleveland manager said later. "He wasn't leaving anything over the plate."

Runkle recorded 1 strikeout and 1 walk in a strong outing.

"When he needed to make pitches, he elevated his game," Detroit manager said in postgame comments to BNN. "We couldn't get a key hit off him."

In 7 starts this season, Runkle has recorded a 5-3 record and a 3.54 ERA.
