| Bannermen, Silvers Silence Montreal, 1-0 | Bill Silvers of the Baltimore Bannermen was on fire against the Montreal Tigers at St. Gabriel Grounds II. He shut them out, 1-0, on 4 hits, collecting 2 strikeouts and allowing 3 walks.
"The first two pitches I'm looking for an out, a ground ball or a fly ball," Silvers said later. "I'm trying to get quick outs. I've never been a big believer in trying to strike a guy out from the very first pitch. It's too easy to end up behind in the count doing that."
This year, Silvers has fanned 116 in 314.2 innings and collected a 16-20 record with a 2.92 ERA. | | | | |
