Hollingsworth Dominates Pittsburgh
Sunday, October 3rd, 1937
There was no spell, no black magic -- just good pitching.
Al Hollingsworth of the Cincinnati Reds blanked the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-0, at Forbes Field today, and he did it the old-fashioned way. After finishing the 1-hit, complete-game shutout, he was all smiles.
"I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game," Hollingsworth said. "I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."
Hollingsworth walked 2 and struck out 2 in the victory.
"He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes," Pirates manager said later.
So far this season Hollingsworth has a 17-14 record with a 3.28 ERA.
