San Francisco Blanks Houston Behind Ragsdale
Saturday, October 9th , 1976
Pete Ragsdale was in a mood to talk following the San Francisco Seagulls contest against the Houston Drillers, expounding to BNN reporters on his pitching philosophy. He had good reason to be excitable, having tossed a complete game shutout of the Drillers, 4-0.
"There are three important elements in pitching success: location, location, and location," Ragsdale said. "I was hitting my spots time and time again."
The right-hander blanked Houston on a 3-hitter, allowing 1 walk and racking up 5 strikeouts.
In 31 starts this season, Ragsdale has gathered 15 wins while suffering 6 losses. He has pitched 224.2 innings, allowed 175 hits, struck out 137 and has a 2.40 ERA.
