"Good pitching beats good hitting" is an old baseball adage.
Well, good pitching also beats bad batting.

James had 7 strikeouts, 1 walk and allowed only 2 hits as the Boise Spuds whitewashed the Louisville Cardinals 8-0.
On his 1967 stats sheet James shows a 3-2 record, 7 starts, 74.1 innings, 48 strikeouts and a 4.48 ERA. |
