Robertson Takes Charge, Blanks New York, 1-0
Billy Robertson of the Washington Eagles was on top of his game.

The 27-year-old tantalized the New York Gothams with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 1-0.

"He had the changeup working," New York manager Bob Kuhl said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower."

The Washington hurler had 3 strikeouts, gave up 1 walk and surrendered 4 hits in his complete-game effort.

Robertson told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league."

"If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said.

This year, Robertson has worked 45.2 innings with 13 strikeouts en route to a 1-3 record and 2.96 ERA.
