Sturgeons Win, 2-0, as Cherry Mystifies Philadelphia
Palmer Cherry was in a mood to talk following the Detroit Sturgeons contest against the Philadelphia Unions, expounding to BNN reporters on his pitching philosophy. He had good reason to be excitable, having tossed a complete game shutout of the Unions, 2-0.

"There are three important elements in pitching success: location, location, and location," Cherry said. "I was hitting my spots time and time again."

The left-hander blanked Philadelphia on a 7-hitter, allowing 3 walks and racking up 3 strikeouts.

This year, Cherry has recorded a 8-5 mark. In 13 starts he has fanned 61 batters in 113.1 innings with a 1.99 ERA.
