Poole Records Shutout Against Federals
Monday, September 17th , 1888
In a seemingly effortless performance, Bill Poole of the Detroit Sturgeons shot down the Washington Federals, 4-0, on 1 hit.

"Bill was just locating so well and using his pitches," Detroit manager said later. "He wasn't leaving anything over the plate."

Poole recorded 5 strikeouts and 1 walk in a strong outing.

"When he needed to make pitches, he elevated his game," Washington manager said in postgame comments to BNN. "We couldn't get a key hit off him."

This year, Poole has registered 29 wins and 19 losses in 48 starts with a 1.74 ERA while registering 242 strikeouts and 87 walks in 428.2 innings.
