| McCann Pitches Gem as Crescents Beat Louisville, 4-0 Sunday, September 3rd , 1916 New Orleans Crescents starter Chris McCann really did a number on the Louisville Stallions, shutting them out, 4-0, on 6 hits in a complete game victory. He issued 4 walks and had 2 strikeouts.
"We didn't have good at-bats," said Louisville manager Al Sanderson. "I don't make excuses, but when we were playing the game, our energy didn't show. That comes from either extremely good pitching or extremely lousy hitting and seeing as our team has a bunch of good hitters, I have to tip my cap to McCann."
His record for the year is 14-7 in 24 starts and McCann has a 2.49 ERA. | | |
