Behind Arndt, Los Angeles Blanks New York, 1-0 Thursday, July 21st , 1977 Jim Arndt of the Los Angeles Pobladores was on top of his game. The 29-year-old tantalized the New York Empires with crisp curves and changeups, mixed in with just enough fastballs to keep the batters honest, shutting them out, 1-0. "He had the changeup working," New York manager Dan Whiting said in postgame comments. "You knew it was coming and you still grounded out -- and then he threw it even slower." The Los Angeles hurler had 6 strikeouts, gave up 3 walks and surrendered 4 hits in his complete-game effort. Arndt told reporters after the game that "keeping the ball down is the key to being successful in this league." "If you don't do that, they'll make you pay," he said. This season, Arndt has rung up 7 wins and 5 losses in 21 games. He has an ERA of 2.76 and has fanned 83 batters in 137 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
