Scherf Pitches Gem as Bobcats Beat Brooklyn, 3-0
Thursday, July 31st , 1975
It was a quiet day for the Brooklyn Bluebirds at Lakefront Stadium -- a little too quiet. Cleveland Bobcats starter Roger Scherf silenced the Bluebirds, holding them to 6 hits and keeping them scoreless in a complete-game 3-0 win.

"It was frustrating against Scherf today," Brooklyn manager John Meeker said.

The Cleveland starting pitcher walked 2 and allowed 6 hits while fanning 5.

So far this year, Scherf has a 5-7 record with a 3.53 ERA.

Baltimore Hopeless Against Koenig
Wednesday, July 30th , 1975
Montreal Habitants starter Erv Koenig really did a number on the Baltimore Lords, shutting them out, 2-0, on 3 hits in a complete game victory. He issued 4 walks and had 5 strikeouts.

"We didn't have good at-bats," said Baltimore manager Steve Read. "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 Koenig."

This season, Koenig has 6 wins and 8 losses and a 3.91 ERA.
