Shannon Deals Hawks 3-0 Shutout
Wednesday, May 23rd, 1956
Joe Shannon led the San Francisco Seagulls to a 3-0 shutout victory over the Chicago Hawks at Mission Field today.

"My pitching coach told me before the game just to bear down and focus," Shannon recalled later. "He said no one was going to hit me if I'm throwing a good breaking ball with good location."

Shannon yielded 8 hits and had 4 strikeouts and no walks in the standout performance.

"I thought he put the ball where he wanted to," Chicago manager Barry Lolicht said. "And that's just about the whole secret to pitching."

This season-to-date Shannon has 5 wins and 3 losses and a 2.84 ERA.
