 | Monday, June 26th, 1950: Lowry Too Tough, Blanks Oakland
"That was one of my best outings," said Judd Lowry. "I was worried a lot in the bullpen. My ball wasn't quite right. Luckily, it can be two different worlds -- the bullpen and the game. Once I stepped on the field, it all fell into place."
It was an impressive start for the Vetrans hurler. He blanked the Oaks 1-0 on a strong 2-hitter while ringing up 15 strikeouts and doling out 1 walk.
His 1950 stats sheet shows Lowry has managed to hold opponents to a .157 average in no relief appearances, while putting up 3-5 record with 85 strikeouts and 23 walks in 74.2 innings. He has a 2.29 ERA with no saves.
