 | Doyle Shuts Out New Orleans, 1-0 Saturday, September 22nd , 1917 Steve Doyle put a hex on the New Orleans Crescents in a sparkling 1-0 shutout performance, mesmerizing them on a 8-hit gem. "I felt good physically," he said after the game. "Everything's comfortable. You should pitch well when that's the case." The Crescents were anything but comfortable against the 25-year-old Richmond Rebels hurler, who fanned 3 and gave up 2 walks. "Doyle used his changeup very well, very effectively," said opposing manager Dave Shepard. "He threw it in hitter's counts." This season, Doyle has a 5-7 mark in 8 starts with a 2.72 ERA. He has given up 103 hits in 96 innings, struck out 44 and issued 30 walks. Opposing clubs have compiled a .281 batting average against him. |   |
