| Philadelphia's Downing to Miss Season Saturday, June 28th , 1975 When Joe Downing was hurt against the Boston Minutemen, the Philadelphia Keystones were hopeful that the injury was not serious. However, it proved to be more severe than first thought. The 30-year-old starting pitcher suffered shoulder inflammation throwing a pitch in yesterday's game. Team doctors told BNN today that Downing would miss 4-5 months of the season.
On the year, Downing has compiled a 6-7 mark with a 6.16 ERA. | | |
