| Stanley Stops Baltimore Cold, Blue Coats Win, 1-0 Sunday, August 23rd , 1896 The Baltimore Tars ran into a buzzsaw at Harbor Field, as Hartford Blue Coats starter Al Stanley cut them down to size, 1-0, tossing a 1-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. "Al 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 2 walks and registered 8 strikeouts.
This year, Stanley has a 14-23 record with a 3.40 ERA.
