Briggs Crafts 3-0 Shutout Versus Los Angeles
The Los Angeles Blockbusters were almost helpless in their 3-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Industrials and hurler Bob Briggs. Briggs kept the Blockbusters confused all game, spinning a 7-hit shutout.

"Tip your hat to Briggs," Los Angeles manager John Trausch said in a postgame interview. "He kept us off balance all night."

The 27-year-old left-hander had 2 walks and 5 strikeouts in a strong performance.

"It just happened to be one of those games where even when I made mistakes, they either fouled them off or someone would make a fine defensive play," Briggs said. "It was just one of those games that things went my way."

For the year, Briggs has compiled a 12-8 record with a 3.27 ERA.
