| Adams Finds Groove in 4-1 Chicago Triumph | The Chicago Cougars received a superlative performance from starting pitcher Hal Adams, allowing them to bump off the San Francisco Sailors, 4-1. The setback makes San Francisco 19-20.
The 38-year-old Adams turned in a performance that had his younger teammates taking notes. Adams rang up 2 strikeouts and held the Sailors to 4 hits over 9 innings. Adams is now 4-2 on the year with 26 strikeouts.
"I was determined to go the distance," said Adams. | |
