| Burt Holds Washington Scoreless | Magic was in the air and on the mound at Columbia Stadium, as Howie Burt held the Washington Eagles spellbound in his 4-0 shutout victory. The Atlanta Copperheads pitcher went the distance, rang up 3 strikeouts, walked 1, and held the Eagles to 3 hits.
"He just had us in his thrall," Washington manager Joe D'Aprile said. "We couldn't put anything together against him."
For the year, Burt has a 8-0 record with a 2.41 ERA in 11 starts. | |
