Plymouth Punchless in 8-0 Loss to Widowmakers Monday, July 29th, 1991 It wasn't easy but the New London Widowmakers made it look that way. Starter Denny Burton shut out the Plymouth Razorbacks despite having what he later called "sub-par" stuff, and the New London Widowmakers cruised to victory, 8-0. Burton allowed only 8 hits and rang up 2 strikeouts but insisted later that he did not deserve primary credit for the win. "It didn't feel quite right today, but I got a lot of help to get through," he said. "I trusted my catcher and the guys behind me bailed me out more than once when I screwed up." To date this season, Burton has registered 23 starts, 11-7 won-lost mark, 4.71 ERA, 170 IP, 56 strikeouts and 51 walks. Opposing teams have hit .286 against him. |
