Cincinnati Blanked by Messenger
Cleveland Bobcats starter Larry Messenger really did a number on the Cincinnati Packers, shutting them out, 2-0, on 7 hits in a complete game victory. He issued 1 walk and had 1 strikeout.

"We didn't have good at-bats," said Cincinnati manager Martin Abresch. "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 and seeing as our team has a bunch of good hitters, I have to tip my cap to Messenger."
