| Breaking News |  | Sunday, July 8th, 1962: Toledo Pitcher Awesome in Shutout
Toledo starter Whammy Douglas really did a number on the Churners today, shutting them out 1-0 on 4 hits in a complete game victory. He issued 1 walk and had 3 strikeouts.
In his postgame comments, the Milwaukee manager said, "We didn't have good at-bats. I don't make excuses, but when we were playing the game, our energy didn't show. That comes from either extremely good pitching or extremely lousy hitting... seeing as our team has a bunch of pretty good hitters, I have to tip my cap to Whammy... he did an outstanding job today."
This season to date Douglas has a record of 6 wins and 9 losses with a 3.13 ERA, has appeared in 17 games and struck out 72 in 132.1 innings.
