| San Diego Skunked by Burgess, 3-0 Saturday, October 7th , 1916 San Francisco Miners starter Doc Burgess really did a number on the San Diego Missions, shutting them out, 3-0, on 6 hits in a complete game victory. He issued 3 walks and had 1 strikeout.
"We didn't have good at-bats," said San Diego manager Vincent Brooks. "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 Burgess."
In 43 starts this season, Burgess has gathered 17 wins while suffering 16 losses. He has pitched 336 innings, allowed 343 hits, struck out 149 and has a 2.87 ERA. | | |
