Hardaway Skunks Brooklyn, 6-0
Waldo Hardaway was dynamite at Independence Field, blowing away the Brooklyn Bluebirds in a shutout victory. The Kansas City Bulls starter had everything working as he held the Bluebirds to 5 hits in the 6-0 win.

"He was pure nasty out there today," said Brooklyn skipper John Meeker. "I don't think any team in the league would've had a chance against what he was bringing."

Hardaway finished the game with 1 strikeout and 1 walk.

Hardaway has a 2-5 season record so far. In 9 starts, he has fanned 13 batters in 58.1 innings with a 3.39 ERA.
