 | Wolpert Shuts Out Galveston, 2-0 Monday, September 24th , 1917 Ken Wolpert dominated the Galveston Gulls with a brilliant 4-hit shutout in the 2-0 Houston Drummers triumph at Drummers Field. The Houston hurler fanned 4 and walked 2 in the game and was singled out for praise afterward by the opposing manager. "He really kept us in check today," Gulls skipper Levi Melton said in postgame comments. "Everything looked to be moving. Seemed like the pitch was right down the middle and it went over down and away. We took some pathetic swings." Wolpert has fashioned a 7-9 mark for the season, 3.08 ERA and thrown 120 innings in 11 starts. Opposing clubs are batting .242 against him. |   |
