| Lee Shines, Shuts Out Rockford, 5-0 Sunday, August 28th , 1887 Peoria Warriors starter Jim Lee really did a number on the Rockford Riveters, shutting them out, 5-0, on 5 hits in a complete game victory. He issued 1 walk and had 3 strikeouts.
"We didn't have good at-bats," said Rockford 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 Lee."
