Catchings Pitches Gem as Vulcans Beat St. Louis, 4-0
The St. Louis Pilots were almost helpless in their 4-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Vulcans and hurler Dennis Catchings. Catchings kept the Pilots confused all game, spinning a 6-hit shutout.

"Tip your hat to Catchings," St. Louis manager said in a postgame interview. "He kept us off balance all night."

The 27-year-old right-hander had 1 walk and 2 strikeouts in a strong performance.

"It just happened to be one of those games where even when I made mistakes, they either fouled them off or someone would make a fine defensive play," Catchings said. "It was just one of those games that things went my way."

For the season, Catchings has a record of 6 wins and 4 losses in 10 appearances. He has an ERA of 1.11 and has fanned 28 batters in 89.1 innings.
