Everything clicked on the hill for Clifford Truby, as he hurled the Newark Grays to a shutout win, 1-0, over the Buffalo Bluebirds, limiting them to 7 hits while recording 3 strikeouts and yielding no walks. He overpowered some batters with fastballs and buckled knees with sharp breaking pitches.

"We had our shot at him a couple of different times," Bluebirds manager Tim Timpano said. "We just weren't able to get to him."

In 42 starts this season, Truby has recorded 15 wins and absorbed 26 losses. He has pitched 346 innings, allowed 456 hits, struck out 75 and has a 4.14 ERA.
