 | Benton Pitches 2-0 Shutout for Atlanta Saturday, September 16th , 1916 It was a quiet day for the New Orleans Crescents at Johnston Park -- a little too quiet. Atlanta Peaches starter Miles Benton silenced the Crescents, holding them to 2 hits and keeping them scoreless in a complete-game 2-0 win. "It was frustrating against Benton today," New Orleans manager Dave Shepard said. The Atlanta starting pitcher walked 4 and allowed 2 hits while fanning 3. This year, Benton has compiled a 13-9 mark with a 3.18 ERA in 29 starts. |   |
