Thursday, July 9th , 1953
Zivon Elizariev bent a little, but he didn't break against the Kharkiv Ducks. The Leningrad Pelicans pitcher hurled a 5-hit, 8-0 shutout in a fine performance, surrendering 1 walk and tallying 1 strikeout.

"Zivon is good at getting out of jams," Pelicans manager told reporters after the game. "He's almost more effective when he gets guys on base or gets behind in the count, because he uses your aggressiveness against you."

In 17 starts this year, Elizariev has posted 6 wins while suffering 9 losses. He has pitched 130 innings, allowed 116 hits, struck out 58 and has a 3.46 ERA.
