McGill Dominates Preachers in 4-0 Shutout
Thursday, September 16th , 1897
The Abilene Preachers were almost helpless today in their 4-0 loss to the Amarillo Horizons and hurler Willie McGill. McGill kept the Preachers confused all game, spinning a 3-hit shutout.
"Tip your hat to McGill," Abilene manager Jimmy Macullar said in a postgame interview. "He kept us off balance all night."
The 23-year-old left-hander had 1 walk 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," McGill said. "It was just one of those games that things went my way."
In 28 starts this season McGill has rung up a 16-10 record and a 3.80 ERA.
