| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, August 9th, 1967: Dobson Tosses Shutout Against Peoria
"Pat Dobson is really a good pitcher when he throws strikes early in the count," said his manager after the Albuquerque hurler tossed a complete game 6-hit shutout against the Peoria Rivermen.
"I went right after each hitter, trying to get ahead in the count," said Dobson. "I wanted them to swing the bats and keep my pitch count down. It worked. I felt strong the whole game, even in the last two innings."
Dobson walked 2 and struck out 8 in the 1-0 victory.
In 22 starts this season Dobson has notched a 9-6 record and a 2.72 ERA.
