 | Murphy Beguiles Wilmington Thursday, August 14th , 1879 New York Columbians starter Gus Murphy really did a number on the Wilmington White Caps, shutting them out, 8-0, on 5 hits in a complete game victory. He issued no walks and had 3 strikeouts. "We didn't have good at-bats," said Wilmington manager . "I don't make excuses, but when we were playing the game, our energy didn't show. That comes from either extremely good pitching or extremely lousy hitting and seeing as our team has a bunch of good hitters, I have to tip my cap to Murphy." In 56 starts this year, Murphy has fashioned a 34-22 record and a 2.10 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |   |
