| Gift Blanks Washington, 6-0 Thursday, April 19th , 1917 Tom Gift kept the opposition off the scoreboard and the New York Gothams were all smiles after winning, 6-0, against the Washington Eagles at Bigsby Oval II. The right-handed Gift gave up no runs in his start, permitted 4 hits, and tallied 4 strikeouts.
"If there was a stat for 'team shutout,' this would be it," Gift said later. "My catcher called a great game, guys delivered at the plate and when I messed something up the guys behind me were where they needed to be."
