| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, August 16th, 1950: Fanwood Triumphs Over Syracuse
He didn't put a spell on them. It wasn't black magic, it was just old-fashioned good pitching. That's how Bob Abbott of the Fanwood Darts blanked the Syracuse Retrievers 6-0.
After tossing a complete game 5-hit shutout, he was all smiles, saying, "I threw a lot of my pitches for strikes in this game. I mixed it up and tried keeping these guys off balance."
His own skipper said, "He's at his best when he gets ahead of the hitters." Abbott walked 2 and struck out 2 in the victory.
The Retrievers manager commented on their lack of success against him, saying, "He was throwing his breaking ball for strikes and we never capitalized on any of his mistakes."
Thus far this season Abbott has posted a 3-0 record, started 6 games, struck out 16 batters in 39.1 innings and compiled a 1.37 ERA.
