Hartford Blanks Baltimore, 6-0 | The Baltimore Tars ran into a buzzsaw at Charter Oak Field, as Hartford Blue Coats starter Harry Shannon cut them down to size, 6-0, tossing a 7-hit shutout.
"That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," Blue Coats manager Chris Kunz told reporters after the game. "Harry 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 Hartford hurler doled out 1 walk and registered 4 strikeouts.
In 42 starts this season, Shannon has notched a 13-23 record and a 4.39 ERA. | |
