 | Peoria Downs Rockford as Fauss Tosses 4-0 Shutout Monday, August 20th , 1917 It was not a good day at the plate for the Rockford Hustlers. They came up empty when it mattered against Peoria Distillers left-hander Carl Fauss, who scattered 8 hits across 9 innings and held the Hustlers scoreless. "We had 8 hits so I know he wasn't completely untouchable, but he was close," Rockford manager Judson Perry said later. Fauss chalked up 5 strikeouts and no walks in the 4-0 Distillers win. This year, Fauss is batting .269 with 94 hits and no home runs. He has scored 43 times and has batted in 47 runs. |   |
