 | Rodgers Tosses Shutout Against Buffalo Wednesday, April 18th , 1917 Newark Foundrymen starter John Rodgers really did a number on the Buffalo Lake Captains, shutting them out, 5-0, on 3 hits in a complete game victory. He issued no walks and had 6 strikeouts. "We didn't have good at-bats," said Buffalo manager Walter Bunting. "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 Rodgers." |   |
