Burkholder Shines in 5-0 Gem
Thursday, June 16th , 1966
In an outstanding outing, St. Louis Explorers starter Pat Burkholder tamed the Cincinnati Packers with a 6-hit shutout at Roman Arena today. The St. Louis hurler went the distance, finishing with 5 strikeouts and no walks in the 5-0 win.
"He had a lot of first-pitch strikes and kept us off balance with a lot of off-speed stuff," according to Cincinnati manager Martin Abresch. "We just didn't get too many balls squared up today."
To date this season Burkholder sports a 6-4 mark with a 2.01 ERA in 13 starting assignments. He has held the opposition to a .182 batting average and has 53 strikeouts in 107.2 innings.
