Elms Win, 5-0, as Purton Mystifies St Jubilee Thursday, May 23rd , 1918 Joseph Purton put a hex on the St Jubilee Stags in a sparkling 5-0 shutout performance, mesmerizing them on a 5-hit gem. "I felt good physically," he said after the game. "Everything's comfortable. You should pitch well when that's the case." The Stags were anything but comfortable against the 22-year-old Elmhurst Elms hurler, who fanned 3 and gave up 0 walks. "Purton used his changeup very well, very effectively," said opposing manager Luigi Childers. "He threw it in hitter's counts." This season, Purton has rung up 9 wins and 9 losses in 19 games. He has an ERA of 1.95 and has fanned 47 batters in 161.2 innings. View Game Log |
