Traders Get Zilch in 7-0 Loss to Blockbusters, Weintraub
Ralph Weintraub subdued the Chicago Traders, 7-0, pitching a 10-hit gem for the Los Angeles Blockbusters at Union Field.

"He was kind of teasing them with his off-speed stuff, and his fastball was moving everywhere," Los Angeles skipper John Trausch said.

Weintraub registered 5 strikeouts and issued no walks in his superb performance.

"We just didn't swing the bats very well. Or else he just pitched good, whichever way you want to look at it," said Chicago manager Larry Link after the defeat.

This season, Weintraub has 1 win and 4 losses and a 4.13 ERA.
