| Samples, Barons Notch Nifty 3-2 Win Over Detroit | The New York Barons got effective pitching from 19-year old left-handed pitcher Tom Samples. The 5-foot-7 , 130-pound Samples muzzled the Detroit offense en route to a win, 3-2, at Columbia Field. After today's action, New York sits at 42-64, while Detroit falls to 70-39.
It was an impressive turn from the legendarily hard-working Samples, who tallied 2 strikeouts in 9 innings while allowing just 5 hits. Samples, who is on pace to win 17 games this season, goes to 13-18 on the year with 49 strikeouts.
"Tom was Tom," said Barons manager . "He gave it all he's got." | | | | |
