Sharp Sends Atlanta Bats to Deep Freeze
Magic was in the air and on the mound at Memphis Baseball Park, as Ed Sharp held the Atlanta Peaches spellbound in his 6-0 shutout victory. The Memphis Blue Stockings pitcher went the distance, rang up 3 strikeouts, walked 4, and held the Peaches to 5 hits.

"He just had us in his thrall," Atlanta manager Harold Courtney said. "We couldn't put anything together against him."
