 | Joy Crafts 2-0 Shutout Versus Scranton Tuesday, September 27th , 1887 Bob Joy had the Scranton Anthracites dancing to his tune during a sparkling 2-0 shutout performance for the Albany Dutchmen. He gave up 3 hits, issued 2 walks and had 9 strikeouts. Scranton hitters were bewildered throughout the game by his delivery. "When you face a guy who hides the ball like he does, it takes a couple of at-bats to try to find his release point," opposing manager said. "We just never figured him out." On the year, Joy has worked 412.1 innings with 407 strikeouts en route to a 35-11 record and 1.46 ERA. |   |
