 | Richmond Bats Silenced by Martin Sunday, September 24th , 1916 Birmingham Ironmen hurler Joe Martin was stingy with runs in his latest outing against the Richmond Rebels, shutting them out, 1-0, on 5 hits. "Joe was very aggressive tonight," Birmingham manager Charles Hinton said. "He threw everything he had with a lot of confidence." Through 9 innings, Martin tallied 2 strikeouts and allowed 1 walk. "He was throwing strikes with all his pitches and mixing it up well," losing manager Hal Redfield said. "Martin has a sneaky fastball, and whatever that off-speed pitch was, it was keeping our timing off." His record for the year is 28-8 in 29 starts and Martin has a 2.22 ERA. |   |
