| Hawthorne Whips Harrisburg, 9-0 Sunday, September 2nd , 1917 Scranton Black Diamonds pitcher Dave Hawthorne blanked the Harrisburg Capitols, 9-0, at Lackawanna Grounds, tossing a 2-hitter while issuing 3 walks and collecting 5 strikeouts.
After his sharp shutout performance, he shared credit with the rest of the club.
"I was just locked in out there and some of that is due to having a catcher who has such a great feel for hitters," Hawthorne said. "I couldn't do what I did without all the guys out there today."
Thus far this season, Hawthorne has posted a 13-14 record, started 34 games, struck out 159 batters in 254.1 innings and compiled a 4.10 ERA. | | |
