 | Kyoto Starter Named EL's Best Pitcher Sunday, October 1st , 1961 When Isoroku Furuta takes the hill, he usually takes command of the game -- at least that's the way it was in September. The outcome was usually a Kyoto victory. His fine 4-0 performance earned him the Eastern League Pitcher of the Month trophy. The talented Owls hurler made 6 starts, worked 39.2 innings, permitted 26 base hits, and struck out 25 while putting up a 2.72 ERA. His record this year is 11-9 in 29 starts and Furuta has a 3.22 ERA. |   |
