 | Saturday, April 12th, 1930: Escobar Records Shutout Against Lightning
"He was too darn good for us today," grumbled the Lancashire manager after his club suffered a 3-0 shutout at the hands of Kelvim Escobar of the Buckie Whalers. He held the Lancashire Lightning scoreless in a 2-hit whitewash.
Escobar was in a zone of his own most of the game and finished with 9 strikeouts and 2 walks in a strong outing.
In a postgame quote his own skipper added, "He pitched his butt off, had good velocity, good movement and had those guys off balance. Kelvim did a whale of a pitching job."
