Boston Comes up Empty Against Blackburn
Magic was in the air and on the mound at Minuteman Stadium, as Johnny Blackburn held the Boston Minutemen spellbound in his 7-0 shutout victory. The Houston Comets pitcher went the distance, rang up 4 strikeouts, walked 2, and held the Minutemen to 6 hits.

"He just had us in his thrall," Boston manager Dode Edwards said. "We couldn't put anything together against him."

So far this season, Blackburn has compiled a 6-1 record with a 2.16 ERA.
