Davis Whips Toronto, 3-0 Monday, August 1st , 1977 Bill Davis of the Atlanta Generals was on top of his game. The 26-year-old tantalized the Toronto Hurons with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 3-0. "He had the changeup working," Toronto manager Jim Burns said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower." The Atlanta hurler had 4 strikeouts, gave up no walks and surrendered 3 hits in his complete-game effort. Davis told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league." "If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said. For the season, Davis has a record of 8 wins and 6 losses in 24 appearances. He has an ERA of 2.64 and has fanned 100 batters in 174 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
