 | Monday, September 25th, 1967: Manhattan Befuddled by Friend
"He was too darn good for us today," grumbled the Manhattan manager after his club suffered a 8-0 shutout at the hands of Bob Friend of the Cleveland Barons. He held the Manhattan Gray Sox scoreless in a 5-hit whitewash.
Friend was in a zone of his own most of the game and finished with 11 strikeouts and 1 walk in a strong outing.
In a postgame quote his own skipper added, "He pitched his butt off, had good velocity, good movement and had those guys off balance. Bob did a whale of a pitching job."
This season Friend has gone 9-10 with an ERA of 5.07, posting 147 strikeouts in 152.2 innings.
