| Tigers Shut Out Monarchs, Archibald Winner | "Good pitching beats good hitting" is an old baseball adage.
Well, good pitching also beats bad hitting.
Stu Archibald of the Montreal Tigers proved the point at Queen City Grounds II, holding the Cincinnati Monarchs to 6 hits in a complete game shutout victory.
"Archibald made us look real bad today," Monarchs manager said in a postgame interview. "He was outstanding. He was down in the zone with all his pitches. Everything was sinking."
Archibald had 4 strikeouts and gave up no walks as the Tigers took the 3-0 win.
On his stats sheet this season, Archibald shows a 18-16 record, 37 starts, 315.1 innings, 108 strikeouts and a 2.77 ERA. | | |  | |
