Potts Spins 1-0 Shutout
There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching.

Joe Potts of the St. Louis Pioneers blanked the Boston Minutemen, 1-0, at Pioneer Field II, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 4-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles.

"I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," Potts said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."

Potts walked 0 and struck out 5 in the victory.

"He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Minutemen manager Harry Barrell said later.

So far this season, Potts has logged a 12-6 record with a 3.30 ERA. He has started 23 games, hurled 172 innings and registered 65 strikeouts and 61 walks.
