Everything clicked on the hill for Joe McDowell, as he hurled the Pittsburgh Miners to a shutout win, 2-0, over the Washington Eagles, limiting them to 7 hits while recording 5 strikeouts and yielding 1 walk. He overpowered some batters with fastballs and buckled knees with sharp breaking pitches.

"We had our shot at him a couple of different times," Eagles manager Roger Cleaves said. "We just weren't able to get to him."

This year, McDowell has recorded a 8-5 mark. In 20 starts he has fanned 63 batters in 114.1 innings with a 4.49 ERA.
