The New York Knickerbockers had no answer today for Brooklyn Bluebirds pitcher Damon Rutherford. They failed to score a single run against him, losing 4-0. New York managed only 5 hits off Rutherford, who had 6 strikeouts.

The extraordinarily popular Rutherford got a standing ovation from the hometown crowd as he left the field, the applause continuing until he returned from the dugout to tip his cap to the crowd.

"Bluebirds fans are the best fans, in my opinion," he said. "It's a great feeling to throw a shutout under any circumstances but to do it with the crowd behind you like that is just incredible."

This year Rutherford has fashioned a 10-11 mark, 2.66 ERA and pitched 216.2 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .238 against him and he has logged 129 strikeouts.
