| Meier Holds Chiefs Scoreless | Elmer Meier was sneaky fast, on the mark, and hard to hit. He led the Washington Eagles to victory, 5-0, blanking the Chicago Chiefs on 6 hits. He had 5 walks and 3 strikeouts.
"You know what he's going to throw. You know what to expect. And you still can't hit it," Chicago skipper Edward Wakeham told reporters after the shutout loss. "He just had a real deceptive fastball today and he was throwing it for strikes."
Over the season Meier has thrown 186.1 innings and dished out 34 strikeouts with a 11-10 mark and a 3.82 ERA. | |
