 | Memphis Hopeless Against Davis Wednesday, September 20th , 1916 Knoxville Aces hurler Claude Davis was stingy with runs in his latest outing against the Memphis Blue Stockings, shutting them out, 3-0, on 5 hits. "Claude was very aggressive tonight," Knoxville manager Herman Ackerman said. "He threw everything he had with a lot of confidence." Through 9 innings, Davis tallied 5 strikeouts and allowed 1 walk. "He was throwing strikes with all his pitches and mixing it up well," losing manager Gene Parkhurst said. "Davis has a sneaky fastball, and whatever that off-speed pitch was, it was keeping our timing off." This season, Davis has crafted a 15-15 mark with a 2.89 ERA in 302.1 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .264 against him and he has 109 strikeouts. |   |
