| Phillips Spins Shutout Against Columbians Sunday, August 10th , 1884 Lawrence Phillips of the Chicago Catamounts was on fire against the Washington Columbians at Halsted Street Grounds. He shut them out, 3-0, on 5 hits, collecting 5 strikeouts and allowing 1 walk.
"The first two pitches I'm looking for an out, a ground ball or a fly ball," Phillips said later. "I'm trying to get quick outs. I've never been a big believer in trying to strike a guy out from the very first pitch. It's too easy to end up behind in the count doing that."
