The Chicago Blues got their 1917 season off and running with a win over the Pittsburgh Mechanics at Thorvald Park. The final score was 6-2. Chicago pitcher Larry Wurth, in particular, had a fine performance. Wurth got the win, improving to 1-0. He gave up 8 hits and walked 0 over 9 innings. He allowed 2 runs.

The Blues got a big at-bat from left fielder Bob Wojtkiewicz. For the game, Wojtkiewicz went 1-4 with a double. In the bottom of the second, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a run-scoring double. His 1st double of the season gave Chicago a 1-0 lead.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Wojtkiewicz. "And not try to do too much."
