| Christenson Sharp, Blanks Westerners, 4-0 | The Indianapolis Westerners ran into a buzzsaw at Vulcan Grounds, as Pittsburgh Vulcans starter Andy Christenson cut them down to size, 4-0, tossing a 6-hit shutout.
"That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," Vulcans manager told reporters after the game. "Andy knows exactly what he's doing. He's not going to throw you a good pitch until you make him throw one."
In the complete game win, the Pittsburgh hurler doled out 1 walk and registered 1 strikeout.
Checking out his stats for the season, Christenson has registered 8 wins and 11 losses in 20 starts, posted a 4.09 ERA, and struck out 21 batters in 149.2 innings. | | |  | |
